I started out in social work and ended up in advertising. Only to find out that not much changed other than the budgets.

Throughout my 20+ year career, I have produced standout work for marquis brands across numerous categories like L’Oreal, BMW, Vanguard, John Frieda, Goldman Sachs, Harman International, TJX Cos., Walmart, USAA, P&G and Smucker, among many others. My work as a producer has earned numerous prestigious awards including One Show and D&AD Pencils, Clios and Cannes Lions. During my tenure as head of production across both Saatchi & Publicis NY, I managed the teams responsible for delivering highly acclaimed work year after year, including Tide’s “It’s a Tide Ad” and “Jason Alexander Hoodie,” Olay “Stem Gap,” Jif “Gif,” and NDSS “C21,” amassing over 20+ Cannes Lions and over 13 D&AD Pencils including a highly coveted Black Pencil.
