Resume

Creative juggernaut with 15+ years of turning sharp insights into big, bold ideas for brands like Coca-Cola, Motorola, and Accenture. Part corporate whisperer, part culture chaser—I craft stories that hit across social feeds, press headlines, pitch decks, and boardrooms alike. Whether I’m partnering with the C-suite, mentoring rising stars, or concepting scroll-stopping campaigns, I bring earned-first thinking and a love of collaboration to every brief.

And for fun, I create short films and sketch comedy and perform improv on stages all over Chicago.
