About
I’m an award-winning Executive Producer and Creative Operations leader who helps individuals, organizations, and brands realize audacious goals. I love making things work better so that truly great work can be achieved.
Marrying an MBA and MFA, I’m bilingual in both ‘creative’ and ‘business’ and am passionate about elevating bold ideas, aligning strategy, and streamlining operations to drive progress. I specialize in bringing order to chaos and seeing opportunity where others see complexity – helping creative teams and innovators to rise above the day-to-day in order to accomplish their best work.
Currently, I’m a VP of Creative Operations in advertising where I help optimize the creative capacity of a team of ~80, improve culture and engagement, and lead cross-functional collaboration across the agency. For over 10 years prior, I was Executive Producer & Studio Manager for renowned celebrity portrait photographer/director Martin Schoeller where I oversaw fine art, books, exhibitions, as well as both editorial and commercial work for clients such as KIA, Amazon, GQ, Vanity Fair, Netflix, National Geographic, The New Yorker, etc. I’m also an alum of National Public Radio and am passionate about driving both business and brand growth through the lens of storytelling and change management.

FUN FACTS: Born in Wild and Wonderful West Virginia, I’m a home improvement junkie and serial optimist. I’ve never met a cocktail or dance party I didn’t like. And I’m honored to be most friends’ first call in case of the Zombie Apocalypse.

WHAT I’M READING: Ok, let’s be honest, I more frequently ‘listen’ (TIP: 2x speed!) than read but still… I love referring a good book (usually non-fiction) — here are some recent favorites. (Hit me with yours!)
