I'm an aspiring ad guru and entrepreneur with interests in digial strategy, cello playing, chocolate, and the Internet. Check out my website or any of the links above for more info or to get in touch.
I am currently the Product Development Manager at Conversation LLC, a full-service advertising agency, where I manage a team of designers and developers in ideating, concepting, developing, launching, and selling new products for the agency and its clients.
Since graduating from the University of Florida in 2010, I have spoken at the 4A's Strategy Festival as one of 12 up-and-coming industry strategists, been an avid participant in several Lean Startup Machine weekends, and have been published numerous times in a variety of publications. Beginning in 2013, I will pursue my MBA at New York University's Stern School of Business on a part-time basis, specializing in Marketing & Strategy.
Though my major interest and background lies in business/digital product strategy and development, I have gained experience in almost every aspect of an agency's function, including media planning and buying, production and development, and client services. My goal is to become an expert in business and digital product strategy. I am constantly seeking opportunities to learn and improve on my experience in these areas.
