About Me
I’m a creative director with a passion for the fusion of great creative and smart strategy.
I’m a social expert with over a decade of experience creating social content and strategies for top-tier brands.
I’m a leader who believes in diversity of ideas, mentorship, and collaboration.
I’m a mom who’s always trying to make it a little easier for working parents to keep working.
I’m probably a little tired at this very moment.
