About me

Hi, I’m Kris—a digital marketing strategist with over 15 years of experience turning brand stories into business results. I’ve worked both agency- and client-side, developing strategies and creating content that builds brand equity, sparks community, and drives real impact.

Journalism taught me how to tell great stories. Analytics taught me how to make them matter. I believe the most compelling brand stories aren’t just well told—they’re told at the right moments, in the right spaces, and to the right audience. That’s where real connection happens—and where brands earn lasting relevance.

Outside of work, you’ll usually find me on the sidelines—either coaching my kids’ teams or cheering on my favorite ones. Sports have always been a huge part of my life, and I bring that same energy, teamwork, and competitive spirit to everything I do.
