Mentor Profile

Bio

After graduating from NC State with a degree in Fashion & Textiles, I moved back to the Charlotte-area and started my career in Marketing. I began my career with Newell Brands working on the Rubbermaid Consumer brand in brand marketing, innovation and channel marketing. My next role was a business management with Chiquita Brands working on the Fresh Express salads brand. The role included managing our digital agencies supporting our website, marketing programs and social media. I also worked on salad innovation and managed the largest salad segments in the portfolio, optimizing product lines to keep the business healthy. After Chiquita, I moved over to TTi Floorcare, working on the Hoover, Dirt Devil and Oreck brands. I was hired on during the company's move to Charlotte in a rebuilding phase. I helped create and eventually led their Shopper Marketing team. Through my team with TTi I also worked in eCommerce, Commercial and Product Development roles. My next role was with Coca-Cola Consolidated. I joined the Commercial team first on the FSOP (Food Service On Premise) team where I worked on various channels, including hospitals, restaurants and offices. I also worked on the retail team, leading Commercial plans for Grocery, Mass, Club, Value and Drug channels. My experience at Consolidated has led me to my current role with the Coca-Cola Company. My current role is in Franchise Operations and includes partnering with Consolidated to execute Commercial plans and regional programs.
