About Me

I’ve been in the advertising industry for the last 19 years. I began on the account side only to learn that I yearned to have a more physical handle in creative development. I started producing 14 years ago and it has been the perfect marriage to my right and left brain. Over the years, I’ve gained deep rooted experience in all facets of production. From broadcast, social, print, as well as business affairs, I can handle it all. I’ve worked at big agencies, small agencies and in-house. I know what it takes to operate at various levels. I am a leader of people, process and navigating the chaos. I pride myself on being the calm in the room.

When I’m not producing you can find me running (literally) after my 3 young kids, experimenting new recipes in my kitchen or sneaking in some self care such as pilates, weight lifting or a morning mediation. Over the years, I’ve become very inspired by interior design. I love the theater, movies, books and storytelling of all kinds. Let’s create something!
