Analyst, Strategist & Editor (Luxury Goods & Travel) at The Luxury Curatress
I help luxury brands turn audience desires into transformative realities.
Experienced Analyst with a demonstrated history of working in the public relations and communications industry. Skilled in Curation, Content, Business Development, Luxury Goods, Concierge, and Branding.

I enjoy assisting brands with engaging, satisfying, and retaining their target audiences by discovering:

1. The brand's core values and how they affect brand positioning and loyalty

2. Hidden profit gaps and how to improve their influence and strengthen additional streams of revenue

3. The brand's story, emotional attachments, and lifestyle benefits to create strategic communications that satisfy their audiences' needs and desires, even those they never knew they had

4. The brand's resulting equity and how to restructure and maximize their investment to maintain and increase brand loyalty and audience engagement:
 
    1. How its core values affect how the brand arrived at its current positioning within their market
    2. Where the brand can advance
    3. How to modify core values to increase and solidify brand value and loyalty

I design efficient and enjoyable user experiences, content, and campaigns, centered on customer engagement, relevant marketing, and impeccable customer service strategies emphasizing brand quality and value. 

To achieve these goals, I focus on:  

Brand development
 Perception 
Essence
 Story
