ABOUT ME

In between playing the piano, and dabbling in ceramics and paper crafts, I've worked at agencies and in-house creative departments over the years.

One of my first jobs out of college was snagging a dream job at Disney Consumer Products, helping to launch Disney Adventures magazine. From there, I've led teams, established creative processes, and garnered results for multiple clients including Mattel, Dell, AT&T, Time Warner Cable, Bank of America, Hyatt Hotels, DirecTV, Capital One Bank, and Teladoc Health.

I bring broad marketing and advertising experience from direct marketing to social and video. I pride myself in leading with kindness, encouraging creative exploration and continuous learning.
