SUMMARY

Talented, multi-hyphenate with 10+ years in the media and advertising industry. My experience has afforded me many opportunities to partner with and help narrate the stories of small, medium, and fortune 500 companies like P&G, Biogen, McDonald's, and more. Colleagues know me as a reliable and ethical professional who delivers results from start to finish, thrives when risk-taking, and whose superpower is problem-solving. I’m also known as a builder; I’m experienced in starting with a blank slate, thinking big, and creating things that didn’t exist before. My network has afforded me the ability to hire and develop the best talent to execute any project, and my innate instincts allow me to influence my peers and the next generation of influencers and thought leaders. I am invested in my personal growth and searching for a long-term opportunity to offer my unique experience and add value to an innovative team and the overall company initiatives.
