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 to whipping up a program scope and timeline - 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.
I devote time into community efforts through the below organizations:
-
Leo Burnett A+ZNCY | Director of Partnerships
-
She Runs It | Multicultural Committee & Young Executive Committee
-
International Association of Business Communicators
| Director of Young Professionals
