About

I’m a creative marketer with a strong editorial foundation and a sharp eye for brand storytelling. I’ve led marketing campaigns, built content strategies, and brought creative direction to projects across industries—from the Whitney Museum to The New School, Parsons, and independent media and publishing. I’ve contributed to membership and marketing at Whitney, led social strategy at Aam Aadmi Party, and delivered freelance marketing support via Fiverr. With an MA in Journalism & Publishing from The New School (Parsons), I bring a research-driven, insight-led approach to marketing. I combine that with strong instincts, quick decision-making, and a knack for pattern recognition—skills that help me solve creative problems and move ideas forward fast. I’m currently open to marketing, brand strategy, and content roles across fashion, art, media, and innovative tech. Based in Chicago, I’m excited to bring my storytelling and data-driven creativity to teams that intersect culture and technology.
