Where Have I Been? What Have I Done?
Where Do I Want To Go?
​As a child I dreamt of working at an advertising agency on Madison Avenue. I went so far as to decorate my room in print ads. It was just as pretty (awful) as you're imagining! My dream carried through to adulthood, and I eventually found myself driving 1,200 miles to New York. As I made my trek my stomach filled with butterflies. It didn’t help that my tape deck broke and I was forced to listen to Will Smith’s “Gettin’ Jiggy Wit’ It” on repeat.
I began my career as a Traffic Manager at Young & Rubicam. The agency had just been awarded the title of Best Agency in the World. No pressure! I juggled creative and timelines for AT&T, KFC, Campbell’s Soup and the Showtime Networks. With a bit of luck, amazing mentors and a lot of hard work, all my dreams came true.
​
I eventually moved on to Grey Advertising. I started as an Assistant Account Executive for the Warner Bros. Pictures account and worked my way up to Senior Account Executive. It was within this role that I gained the additional responsibility of advertising the premiere of the Ellen Show. I ran a mile a minute and loved every bit of it!
Since that time, I have created advertising strategies for international, national, regional and local brands. My experience ranges from TD Ameritrade to Diana Ross (and just about everything in between).
​​​
My ability to make quick decisions based on data, coupled with my campaign expertise has resulted in quantifiable, record–breaking outcomes.
​
I am energized by seemingly impossible goals. I expect obstacles and create solutions. My innate energy powers me to work hard and exceed expectations.
My ideal work culture is inclusive, trusting, transparent, and respectful. I feel everyone should have a voice, and they deserve to be listened to. I care about my work, and I want to work with others that feel the same. Plus, I want to laugh and laugh hard. Too much?
