My Growth Marketer

Advertising & Marketing

I am the Chief Executive Officer of My Growth Marketer (MGM) and an enthusiastic growth hacker grounded in customer centricity, fast iteration, and a growth mindset based in Northern California. MGM is committed to architecting the most effective way to holistically drive your business awareness and revenue growth.

For over five years, I have partnered with business owners, executives, and directors to ensure messaging and branding are integrated across the marketing funnel to optimize every aspect of the business. Through market research and data analysis, I aim to certify business success through continuous testing and iteration, process improvement, and problem solving. I have implemented marketing strategies to drive growth for start-ups and strategic business transformations for seven different companies in the hydrogen technology, healthcare, wellness, wine, and public policy industries.

My partners have yielded positive results in areas such as revenue growth, cost savings, and increased capacity for their organizations.

I earned my Masters in Business Administration (MBA) from the University of California, Davis Graduate School of Management where I concentrated in the areas of Marketing, Leadership, Entrepreneurship, and Innovation.

I also hold over 14 years of experience in politics working with community-based organizations, elected officials, the labor movement and have served in the California State Assembly as a legislative analyst. I have led legislative campaigns and have historically partnered with multilingual, multiethnic communities of color to share their stories to advance public policy changes to advance worker, women, and immigrant rights in California.
