Delighted to meet you!

Thanks for taking interest in my site! I'm excited to show you what I can do.

When we meet, we'll have plenty of time to go over what I can do in brand strategy and account management. Until then, here are three things that will help you get to know me:

• A few highlights from my career
• A short list of my skills
• A few things I've baked up

Thanks again and looking forward to meeting you in person.

A little about me.

I have over three years work experience in both account management and strategy, working at The Barbarian Group in New York and RedPeg Marketing in Washington, DC. My experience has included working on the accounts to the left.

Currently, I attend the VCU Brandcenter pursuing a Master's in Creative Brand Management. The CBM program trains students in business school fundamentals, strategy and creativity to fuel a brand's bottom line.

Fun Facts

• I was mistaken for Rex Lee by an entire bar.
• If a month ends in "-ber," I believe it's okay to sing Christmas carols.
• I once had a bodyguard for 30 hours while in Chicago.
• I use Luigi when racing, but use Donkey Kong when battling in Mario Kart.

I do things that make brands better.

My skills focus on brand development and account leadership. I specialize in customer experience, including digital, experiential and event marketing.

Brand Development

Account Leadership

Software

Cookies, Eclairs and Cakes (oh my!)

For grad school, my final decision was between the Brandcenter and a Cordon Bleu culinary institute. After almost an hour of soul searching over dinner with two good friends, one of them flipped a coin. I called heads and ended up going to the Brandcenter. It was one of the best decisions I've made.

Baking is still a big passion of mine. Any of my friends and family will tell you that desserts are a big part of my life and I'm excited to share it with you, if only in pictures.

Chocolate Guiness Cake

I make this every year for St. Patrick's.

Mocha Cinnamon Scones

Scones are my specialty – they're easier to make than you think.

Strawberry Cake

I first made this cake when I was twelve.

When we meet…

I have a variety of work samples to show you, but feel free to look at a few appetizers here:

1. The GE Show, a campaign I helped launch at the Barbarian Group
2. Rosetta Stone, a program I managed at RedPeg Marketing
3. Ritz Camera, a rebranding campaign I did for class at the Brandcenter

Until then, here’s a copy of my resume. Feel free to email me with any questions. Looking forward to meeting you in person!
