Chief Marketing Officer at Full Course

HOW WERE YOU AFFILIATED WITH WGS?

I minored in Women's Studies.

TELL US ABOUT YOUR CURRENT WORK

I am currently the Chief Marketing Officer at Full Course. We're building an equitable and inclusive restaurant industry, where all faces and flavors have a seat at the table. We do this through training, consulting and investment in early-stage food brands led by people who represent the cultural fabric of this country.

HOW HAS YOUR WOMEN'S AND GENDER STUDIES EXPERIENCE SHAPED YOUR LIFE AND WORK POST-GRADUATION?

Empowering women leaders is my passion. As a Women's Foodservice Forum ambassador at Focus Brands and a founding member of our DEI initiative at Zaxby's, I have been able to organize efforts around building powerful networks of mentors, sponsors and advocates. I also had the pleasure of working with Synchronicity Theatre's Playmaking For Girls program where we helped refugee girls and girls living in group homes tell their stories through writing and performing plays.
