For over a decade, I've had the honor of shaping global programs and authentic experiences for influential brands across tech, CPG, music, sports, luxury, lifestyle, hospitality, and restricted products. As a native of New York City, I approach the business with an entrepreneurial spirit and a global mindset. Always ready to embrace change.

With a fine tuned strategic and creative lens, I lead my teams towards solutions that address evolving consumer landscapes, client demands and shifting policies. Integrating powerful data, fresh tech and sound insights, I engage each project with an intent to excite the senses and fuel deeper consumer engagement. Collaborating across disciplines (both agency and brand) and capitalizing on present market opportunities, I strive to deliver results and "bring the magic" daily, while uncovering new growth territories.
