Skilled as a communicator, agency-builder, and brand storyteller across categories. Vast experience building strategy, concepting cross-channel ideas, curating presentations, creating headline-driving ideas, and producing high-quality far-reaching campaigns. Great at presenting, building relationships across business heads and coworkers, and listing things. Hates writing in the obligatory sentence fragments and business jargon resume writing demands.
