About Me.
Hey There - I’m LaQuisha!
I’m passionate about understanding people and shaping how products fit into their lives. My experience comes from applied academic projects where I’ve approached product marketing end-to-end, researching customer behavior, defining positioning, and designing go-to-market strategies that balance insight and storytelling.
Across consumer, healthcare, and digital brands, I’ve developed personas, analyzed engagement and funnel data, and created positioning and launch narratives designed to resonate emotionally and functionally. I’m particularly drawn to CPG roles where brand, behavior, and experience intersect.
My background in quantitative research ensures that creative decisions are grounded in evidence, while my love of storytelling helps translate insights into messaging that feels human and memorable. Outside of work, I enjoy getting lost in a book and expressing creativity through photography, both of which shape how I observe, empathize, and communicate.
Currently seeking full-time Consumer Packaged Goods Marketing Manager roles.
