My discerning eye, vibrant leadership and creative savvy make my teams shine.
With 20 years of wide-ranging industry experience, I continue to excel as a leader and grow my creativity on the daily. I feel at my most powerful working on campaigns and branding, guiding my team, and am also quite adept at pivoting quickly into new territory. I firmly live by the idea of always making sh*t happen. I love to bring my sense of humor, curiosity and passion to all of my work.
