    PROFESSIONAL BIOGRAPHY Currently self-employed, I'm a small business owner running a personal finance education business. I have a "can-do" attitude and thrive on taking action, instinctively moving things from idea to reality to deliver results. I focus on priorities, am detail-oriented and organized, and believe in using metrics to guide decision-making. My mantras are: "Focus on the 20% that provide 80% of the results," and "You can't argue with data." Before going full-time with my business, I worked in tech marketing. My last employer was Blue Prism where I led launches for the Product Marketing team and helped define and implement a company-wide launch process. Before Blue Prism, I worked for Cisco as a Go-to-Market Program Manager for marketing activities supporting the Global Service Provider Customer Experience Portfolio.
