A Bit About Me
I grew up in Chicago, a city rich in culture and shaped by the entrepreneurial spirit of mom-and-pop shops built by hardworking immigrant communities. My appreciation for small businesses runs deep because they represent the courage to turn a vision into reality.
​
The major companies I’ve worked with today are known for some of the best marketing and storytelling in the world—but at their core, they all began as someone’s bold idea. I’ve been fortunate to learn from top industry leaders, and now, I’m bridging the gap—bringing those insights to small businesses, helping them grow and thrive through strategic, impactful marketing.
Experience
Film School
Film + TV Entertainment
Marketing
I studied film at the University of Arizona, where I learned the art of directing in cinema. This experience became the foundation of my storytelling skills, which I now apply to creating powerful, compelling narratives for brands.
I then moved to LA, where I worked at major companies like ESPN, Marvel, and NBC on high-profile projects. Assisting some of the most notable directors and actors not only sharpened my storytelling but also refined my work ethic and eye for detail—skills I bring to every project I undertake.
I have led innovative campaigns, developed compelling storytelling for global brands, and driven audience engagement across multiple platforms. With expertise in social media, content creation, and graphic design, I blend creativity with data-driven insights to build impactful brand experiences. My experience spans industries, including fashion, beauty, and finance, where I have successfully elevated brand presence and consumer connection.
