Seasoned Account Director with over twelve years of advertising and marketing experience. Hard worker. Right-brained. Left-handed. Team player. Motivator. Eternal optimist.
I’ve had the chance to launch new brands, grow challenger businesses and change human behaviors. A passionate team-player, I am most comfortable working in collaborative and creative environments. I have an entrepreneurial attitude and believe that the best work is done when the collective team is willing to roll up their sleeves.
My Recent Experiences
Barbarian
May 2022 – Current
Agency team lead responsible for all American Express social & influencer programs. During my time at Barbarian, I’ve spearheaded the account’s first social production, developed a yearlong Influencer strategy and have defined a new way of producing content that is truly social-first. Managed a cross functional team of 30 individuals inclusive of account managers, creatives & social strategists.
Ogilvy Chicago
January 2019 – May 2022
Senior leader on the Tyson Foods account. As the first hire on a team that eventually grew to 15 individuals, I played a key role in setting up the team from a best-practices perspective, and set the cultural tone for ways of working within the agency. Established myself as a top performer within the agency - inheriting key agency projects outside of my assigned remit.
FCB Chicago
February 2017 –December 2018
Go-to-market lead on the Valspar and HGTV HOME by Sherwin Williams business. Led the first social production for the paint company, producing over 100 assets through an end-to-end production in Madrid. The three day shoot included 10 set-ups, 15 actors, and a crew that only spoke Spanish.
