Why I love healthcare marketing:
"The idea of a 'brand' is becoming increasingly important in healthcare. Brand that not only provides service when needed, but also weaves itself into the fabric of people’s lives. Brand that not only has expertise and state-of-the-art technology, but also builds emotional connections with consumers. Brand with a lighthouse identity that helps consumers navigate to it through the sea of change. Brand in the full sense of the word."

Recent accomplishment:
Learned to run a vegan kitchen.

Words I live by:
