I am a bilingual marketing professional with 14 years of professional experience in digital marketing, including 12 years in B2B marketing at technology companies (retail tech, advertising tech, martech, and travel tech), digital publishing, and agencies (media, PR, and advertising).

I'm very familiar with many disciplines within marketing as I have worked in different fields — analytics, content marketing, project/campaign management, and demand generation — at various types of companies, including global companies like Walmart, Publicis Groupe, and WPP.

By day, I'm a Director of Marketing at a global technology company; by night, I'm a career coach who can help you position and promote yourself to your target audience.

Rachel has been my mentor for a long time. She has been giving me so much useful advice for my career and for my life. She is professional, knowledgeable and kind. She is more than a mentor for me — more like a friend that I can trust. I enjoy every minute of our conversation and I believe many people who have ever talked to Rachel must feel the same.

Rachel has been a career coach of mine since last summer. She taught me how to network genuinely and effectively. She can always inspire me when I felt less motivated. Now I see her as my mentor in life. Thank you, Rachel.
