PROFILE
An empathy-driven and multi-disciplinary creative leader who loves instigating, nurturing, and willing ideas of all sizes to life with other humans. With 18+ years in leading creative teams and delivering impactful digital projects. I’ve led accounts for SharkNinja, Citrix, Jared Jewelers, and Botox, on work ranging from performance marketing to social, UX/UI, email, brand, and 360 global campaigns. Over the last two decades I’ve made it my goal to make and shape work through radical empathy. Work that is grounded in human insights and solves real problems while treating those I work with compassionately. I work hard, and I love what I do. PHONE
