I'm officially open to my next career opportunity. Last week, I faced the unexpected challenge of being laid off, and while it left me uncertain about my next steps, I've decided to view it as a chance to connect with people and open myself up to new experiences. If you're interested in supporting me on this journey towards my next role, I've provided some insights into my experience and examples of positions I'm pursuing below. (Thank you in advance for your support!) Furthermore, I'd love to meet up for coffee, check out co-working spaces, or visit museums with anyone interested in the Chicagoland area. Here's a brief summary of my experience: - Leading and supporting various marketing campaigns, including 1:1, 1:few, and 1:many initiatives, encompassing everything from conception and testing to measurement and reporting. - Managing the end-to-end programming of virtual events and third-party in-person events, collaborating closely with internal teams and external vendors. - Crafting engaging short and long-form content to drive brand awareness, lead generation, and demand generation across multiple platforms (such as social media, sales collateral, emails, proposals, presentations, blogs, ebooks, and whitepapers). - Demonstrating a growth mindset through continuous learning, curiosity, and creativity. And recently, I've applied for roles such as: - Growth Marketing Manager - Campaign Marketing Manager - Demand Generation Manager - Integrated Marketing Manager - Marketing Program Manager If any of these resonate with you or if you have any leads or suggestions, I'd appreciate your input and support. Excited to connect and explore! #Chicago #OpenToWork #LetsConnect

I have 60 FIRST cousins. As you can imagine, it's a lot of different personalities. I grew up listening to a lot of chismis, and constantly heard people talk all over each other during holidays and family get-togethers. I credit this upbringing for my success at WBD - a large, highly matrixed org. As a leader who supported 10+ brands and 3 sales teams across 5 markets, I received broad swaths of information and distilled relevant information to create strategic and actionable connections/recommendations for my stakeholders. 🤝 I connected the right people for collabs ✍ I shared creative/social best practices tailored to their resources 💰 I highlighted which advertisers were buying on brand A but not brand B 💴 I shared creative ways social can be used to bring incremental value or solve business problems (like mitigating linear under deliveries) Here's the only picture of me and all my cousins on my dad's side. What has your family taught you? Comment below! ---- I'm #opentowork! Looking for: head of social roles at brands, social sales/sales enablement/revenue partnerships roles at social platforms, and/or paid media roles at media agencies and creator businesses.

Sometimes, life has a funny way of pushing you toward new opportunities. After being laid off from Motorola (the writing was on the wall—6 months without a single eCommerce budget approved), I’ve decided to make this season one of growth, reinvention, and new beginnings. Here’s how I’m making the most of my time right now: ✅ Sharpening my skills: Recertifying in Google Ads and Analytics to stay ahead of the curve in digital marketing. ✅ Revamping my brand: Optimizing my resume and LinkedIn to reflect my 13+ years of expertise of work experience with highlights in eCommerce and digital strategy. ✅ Wearing ALL the hats: Running a dog rescue, managing my husband’s landscaping business’s digital marketing, and still being a full-time mom to two incredible kids. ✅ Exploring the future: Strategically applying to roles where I can bring my passion for driving growth, building seamless digital experiences, and delivering data-driven results ✅ Learning and connecting: Networking with professionals, exchanging insights, and staying inspired by the latest eCommerce and marketing trends. This moment has reminded me of the power of resilience, adaptability, and making the most of every opportunity. Balancing life as a mother, marketer, strategist, and dog rescuer keeps me on my toes, but it’s also what fuels my creativity and drive. If you’re hiring—or know someone looking for a dedicated, dynamic, and results-driven professional—let’s connect! I’d love to share how my experience and passion can bring value to your team. #JobSearch #ECommerce #DigitalMarketing #Resilience #WorkingMom #OpenToWork

Open roles below, scroll down. If you are saying, I am gonna take some time and enjoy the summer and reset. Then let me say, don't jump to the conclusion as that is your best option. If you recently are thrust into the job market. Ask a few people, don’t just listen to me. Ask them how long did it take you? How long is the process? My guess is you will find it is a lot longer than they wanted or anticipated. You need to dedicate some time everyday towards the job hunt. A few hours here and few hours there. You can still get the "rest" in but don't sleep. Sleep is the cousin of death said Nasir Jones. Welcome to Saturday morning, glad you took my advice. Now my other advice is to pay if forward so that your network can see.
