About me

Throughout my career, I’ve worked on a wide variety of high-profile accounts in the following verticals: QSR, Technology, Automotive, Airlines, Luxury, Sports, and Alcohol. I’ve performed as an AOR lead and lead both experiential and design/branding initiatives for Fortune 10 companies, managing budgets from $500k - $8m.

Highlights include launching Gold lion-winning (+ Titanium Nominated) Black-Owned Friday, for Google, as well as launching Bud Light's first ever Seltzer. These key sales drivers and seminal cultural moments were the byproduct of a synergistic account, creative, and strategy initiatives bolstered by a purposeful and honest client-relationship.

Outside of work, you can find me binge-watching documentaries, hanging with my shih-tzu, building travel itineraries for future-sonali, and using the word KPI in my personal life *far* too often.
