Corporate Director of Marketing
I first partnered with GenCare Lifestyle as a marketing consultant in 2020 before officially joining the team in 2021 as Corporate Director of Marketing. Today, I have the privilege of leading our brand, marketing, communications, and growth strategies across the organization.With more than 25 years of experience spanning senior living, hospitality, consumer marketing, advertising, and promotional marketing, I've always believed the best marketing starts with people. I love combining strategy, creativity, and curiosity to build brands people trust, campaigns people remember, and experiences that inspire action. While I enjoy diving into analytics and strategy, I believe the most successful marketing happens when creativity and data work hand in hand. I'm passionate about telling the stories of our residents, families, and team members while helping redefine what it means to age well. Every campaign, event, and initiative is rooted in our mission of helping older adults live fuller, healthier, and more connected lives. One question guides almost everything I do: "How do we want people to feel?" Because when you create a genuine emotional connection, everything else follows.
I'm an ideas person through and through. Inspiration can strike anywhere—during a workout, while traveling, listening to a podcast, or in the middle of a conversation. My Notes app is full of campaign ideas, random observations, and "what if..." moments.
I'm a lifelong learner with a passion for innovation. Whether it's exploring AI, consumer psychology, branding, leadership, or emerging marketing trends, I'm always looking for new ways to challenge conventional thinking and create meaningful experiences.
When I'm not working, you'll usually find me traveling with my husband, spending time with family (especially my grandson), staying active, hiking, or discovering a new favorite restaurant. I believe some of life's greatest lessons and best stories come from the experiences we share with the people we love. As an island girl, the sun, the ocean, and salty air have always been where I find peace, perspective, and inspiration. That's where I recharge and feed my soul.
I believe every great marketing strategy starts with empathy, every great brand starts with trust, and every great story starts with people.
