As a creative director with over 15 years of agency, in-house, and freelance experience, I understand the value of experienced leadership. Recruiting and leading teams, while envisioning, writing, pitching, producing, directing, managing, and budgeting projects from any location and under any conditions, has defined my work. That work has resulted in innovative print, digital, and video campaigns that generate loyalty, votes, and financial support from audiences worldwide through clear, compelling, and strategic storytelling.
As a CD and a copywriter, I have won the prestigious Pollie Award for excellence in political communication, and my work has been featured in over 125 local, state, and national efforts, earning a convincing 92% win rate. I have managed up to 100 marketing projects every month for 50+ digital, social media, landing page, video, marketing collateral, phone, OOH, and brick and mortar retail media in collaboration with dozens of vendors, partners, and subscriptions. World-class customer service is always top of mind.
I lead award-winning, purpose-driven creative teams of 20 professionals solving real world problems with effective collaboration (Creative Directors, Directors, Editors, Copywriters, Proofreaders, Designers, Camera Operators, Coders, Technology Managers, Grips, Talent). Comfortable on camera, I've produced, directed, hosted and edited over 20 video talk show episodes. Proactive communication and a detail oriented approach win the day. A natural coach and mentor, I love to laugh and encourage a diverse, life-affirming workplace.
