CHICAGO
As a creative turned project manager, I have worn many hats throughout my career in advertising. From taking the reins of managing client expectations within creative work to leading annual scoping and timelines - I am fortunate to have a well rounded background in all things business leadership and operations.
Outside of my agency life, I have many passions. One night I could be working on a new art composition or attending a food blogger event. The next I could be training at the gym with my MMA coach or learning a new language. I have always loved to learn and living in a city where there is so much culture opens so many doors for opportunity.
