About

I'm an influencer marketing leader who builds bold, culturally relevant campaigns that actually move the needle. From tech to beauty, food to finance, I’ve led programs for brands like Samsung, Popeyes, Microsoft, and Conair—pairing the right creators with the right ideas to spark real connection. I specialize in turning strategy into systems, managing budgets big and small, and crafting programs that scale without losing their soul. At the heart of it all, I believe great work starts with great relationships—between brands, creators, and the teams who bring it all to life.
