Account Manager

She's passionate about non-traditional messaging and is beyond thrilled to lend her skills to an industry where reaching alienated audiences can make a difference in people's lives — or even save them. As a certified desert rat, Ali has hiked 6,152 miles of Joshua Tree National Park and the Mojave desert (and so have her dogs).
