I grew up in Massachusetts where I fell in love with Latin and language in high school. Then I went to college in the south where I studied ancient Greek. This, maybe mixed with being a caddie and camp counselor, somehow pushed me into advertising, where I've been ever since. This is my ideal job... a mix of everything I've loved about my past: collaborating, working closely with people, being creative, using language to solve problems, and not having a strict dress code in the office.
Worked on a wide variety of brands and projects. Launched New York Life's "Love Takes Action" campaign in the 2020 Super Bowl. Wrote a children's book series for the NYL Foundation that supported bereaved children and their families. Created Ally Bank's 2024 Super Bowl Spot. Built and auctioned a custom chess board for Black youth chess.
Worked on "GoVoteBot," a chatbot for AdCouncil that helped people get all their voting information in 2016. Helped build an experience for Jet.com that scrubbed people's social profiles to recommend how much to spend on them that holiday season based on the quality and quantity of their interactions.
Cut my teeth as an intern on Canon, Hasbro, and pitch work.
Learned about business things. Decided finance was not for me.
Caddie of the Summer one year. Beat an army of 5-year-olds in capture the flag.
Whittling, darts, drawing, piano, guitar, and I'm pretty good at catching food in my mouth
