Summary

Battle-tested producer and production director with the right combination of agency and client side experience. I bring well-rounded insights and creative savvy to the table. Entrepreneurial in spirit, passionate at heart and truly business minded, I’m just as comfortable pitching new business/campaigns as I am producing and creating the 360 degree marketing and advertising efforts behind them.
