Summary

I am a seasoned creative who has written, directed and edited commercials and content and have more than 20 years of experience producing impactful, high-quality work in fast-paced, high-performance environments. Over the years I have created content for GSK, Novartis, AstraZeneca and Pacira Biosciences among others and now seek an in-house role managing content creation internally and with the Agency of Record.

In addition to driving a range of freelance projects, I built and led two companies known for exceptionally creative, effective work in the advertising/content creation space. I brought strong leadership, communication, and relationship-building skills in my role as CEO. In addition, I hired and mentored high-performing teams that consistently delivered work on-time and on-budget. Finally, I have worked with racially diverse talent pools and am keenly aware of, and sensitive to, issues of equity, access, inclusion and belonging.

As detailed in my resume, I have experience in a range of platforms and with diverse media and methods, from commercial to immersive design. I am adept at learning new technologies and processes and have evolved my skillset to keep pace with a fast- and ever-changing field.

With my experience, creativity, and ability to manage human, financial, and technological resources, I would be a comprehensive addition to a Pharmaceutical Company interested in maximizing reach and impact with their advertising dollars. In all my work, I am laser-focused on ensuring that a company’s messages and goals are met with utmost efficacy and efficiency.
