Here’s the Story

My career began at a handful of NY agencies. I cut my teeth on TV, radio, print, and digital – the usual suspects.

After almost a decade in the soup, I left agency life to have a baby and move to freelance. I haven’t looked back (yet).

In 2019, I joined two other women to form an independent marketing collective we named Assembly. It has been exhausting, intense, and wildly rewarding. My experience now encompasses branding, PR, and in-house creative work.

As for clients, I’ve migrated from a background in CPG, retail, and finance to the world of baby & family brands, plant-based food & beverage startups, and the ever-evolving digital healthcare space.

Today I live back home in Texas with my family and our Irish Wolfhound. (Yes. That’s a lot of dog.) Most notably, I still live with a time-wisened tabby cat who has moved with me from NYC to South Texas and, finally, home to Austin.
