Recognized for driving collaboration and inclusion as an agent for change. Has expertise across industry disciplines including digital, cable, and publishing. Focuses on expected outcomes in order to determine best strategic path of opportunity. In my current role at the Ad Council, I pivoted my "for profit" career experience into the "not for profit" world at one of the most highly regarded organizations in the United States. The role is allowing me to give back to the industry and community that gives so much to me. At Ad Council, we tackle the most critical and urgent issues facing Americans and raise awareness for change and need for over 35 plus campaigns. My role leverages my strengths in building relationships, in bringing pragmatic thinking to problem solving, and in leading a team to exceptional achievement. Under my leadership, my team has driven historic levels of industry support most recently for the Covid-19 stay at home and social distance messaging. We secured innovative award winning partnerships with many of the most relevant emerging media platforms. We successfully launched the first Ad Council PMP, which will now be exclusively dedicated to the Covid Vaccine Education platform and created the vision for the Ad Council Media Advisory Committee made up of some of the best and brightest media minds in the business to provide counsel and advice for our everyday work. My most proud accomplishments in my career, prior to Ad Council, include leading the ad sales for the launch of the Oprah Winfrey Network, one of the most successful cable launches in recent history, now ten years young. At AOL, I was part of the leadership team that drove +20% revenue growth and oversaw several reorgs to optimize sales effectiveness. At Discovery Digital Media, I led the efforts to integrate HowStuffWorks into the Discovery Digital platform and drive its first major launch partnership. At Yahoo, we architected and executed the sales strategy for the first Global NFL livestream, launched StoryTellers, Yahoo's content marketing team designed to leverage insights and data. I embrace challenges, love to pivot in my career to take on the next learning and growth opportunity. I put my work, my team, and my family ahead of my own personal brand.

With over two decades of experience creating impact through media, marketing, and brand partnerships, I’ve now pivoted into a new chapter—working as a Partnerships Program Consultant and Private Property Concierge. My journey began in television, where I led and executed integrated brand campaigns across networks like MTV, OWN, TMZ, E!, and more. That experience honed my ability to connect vision with execution, and people with opportunity. Today, I apply that same strategic and relationship-driven mindset to the work I do with hospitality brands, philanthropic organizations, and private clients. Whether I'm building bespoke partnerships that fuel community initiatives, or curating luxury property experiences with concierge-level detail, I bring a deep commitment to service, storytelling, and results. Rooted in purpose and powered by collaboration, my work bridges worlds—media and hospitality, private and public, legacy and innovation. Let’s build something meaningful.
