As a current Executive MBA candidate at the University of Denver, I am working on growing as both a leader and strategic internet marketing consultant. I just launched my own internet marketing consulting practice called START UP & GROW or S&G, and am currently helping early-stage tech startups and emerging brands get their products and services to market. I am most passionate about building online marketplace apps where parents can more easily buy, sell and exchange products and services. As an internet marketer and new mom, I have recently realized how much room there is to grow in this space. After graduating with my Executive MBA, I plan to lead both startups and established companies in their internet marketing strategy and execution. Thank you for your consideration!
