AI Strategist • Fractional CMO • Full-Stack Developer
I help small teams do big things.
I'm a full-stack developer who speaks marketing. I started in human rights, moved into marketing leadership, and now work as a Fractional CMO who builds the systems I recommend. Most strategists hand over a plan. I stay and build it.
Get to Know Me
My story
I hold three academic degrees and a full-stack development certification. My career spans healthcare innovation, precision medicine, education, human rights, and global marketing leadership at companies like BASE10 Genetics, the Institute of Post-Acute Care, Mary Kay, John Lewis & Partners, and EF Education First.
During COVID I trained as an AI Trainer and started building the systems that became AI Powered Dahlia, my agency for healthcare and mission-driven brands.
Today I'm the AI and Marketing Strategist and Fractional CMO for healthcare organizations, and I help them cut their marketing workload in half with automation. I also champion women in technology. And I'm a mom and a wife.
What I Bring
I build custom AI agents and automated marketing workflows that take repetitive tasks off your team's plate, so your people spend their hours on the work only they can do.
Senior marketing leadership without a full-time executive salary. I've led marketing for precision medicine, healthcare, education, and global retail brands, and I draw on all of it.
I build what I plan: websites, web apps, and platforms with AI built in. A developer who understands marketing saves you the handoff between strategy and code.

Director of Digital Strategy & Marketing
From TEDxMarvila in Lisbon to BASE10 Genetics in precision medicine, from Mary Kay and John Lewis & Partners in global retail to EF Education First in international education, I've led digital strategy and marketing.
At the Institute of Post-Acute Care, I drove product development and marketing for healthcare certifications. At the Save a Leg, Save a Life Foundation, I built the digital presence for a healthcare nonprofit focused on limb preservation. And through Long Term Care RISE (Penn Medicine | Temple Health), I supported digital engagement for post-acute care professionals.
Today, through AI Powered Dahlia, I serve brands like Post Acute Wound & Skin Integrity Council (PAWSIC), The Frank and Lizzie Show, CARS Coalition for At-Risk Skin, Community Builders Alliance, and KeepUsPstd, building the automation and strategy behind their marketing. I also serve as Board Vice President at Community Builders Alliance Louisiana.
Beyond strategy, I am co-founder of Wild Mercy Pictures, a Chicago-based production company telling bold, character-driven stories that blend craft with conscience: work that is emotionally honest, visually intentional, and rooted in human dignity.
Why It Matters
My career didn't start in a boardroom. It started in human rights. At the Norwegian Helsinki Committee, I worked on monitoring, reporting, and democracy support, and participated in presenting alternative reports to the UN.
I carry that into tech now, as a woman in AI who builds, leads, and opens doors for others.
When women lead in AI, the technology serves more people.
