My ** Second Elevator Speech:

With more than ** years of creative and managerial expertise to my credit, I never lose sight of the ultimate responsibility of a manager and Creative Director: To foster passion and creativity in my team members while ensuring brands and services successfully convey their message to the consumer and trade markets. During my 21 years as co-founder and managing partner with Topspin, our agency had the pleasure of working with many long- standing clients which included; Johnson & Johnson, Bausch + Lomb, L’Oréal, Sanofi, Novo Nordisk, Frontage, Avon, Avrio and more. Cultivating and nurturing long standing relationships was and always will be one of my major priorities. Prior to co-founding Topspin in 2002, I successfully led teams at QLM Marketing and Clarion Marketing where we created campaigns for premier companies and brands such as Dr. Pepper/7UP, Guinness Import Brands, Kraft, British Airways, Pinnacle Brands and Johnson & Johnson.

Outside the office, my passions include music, scuba diving, and supporting dog rescue efforts working with Delaware Valley Golden Retriever Rescue (DVGRR) and Dutch Country Animal Rescue (DCAR). I currently live in Bucks County, PA. with my two adopted canine “kids”.
