I’m a multi-disciplinary creative
leader and doer, driven by the desire to tell compelling stories that move people to action.
I strive to lead with certainty, be informed by data, inspire through action, challenge with support, and persuade with respect. I consistently reveal creative solutions that are strategically-driven, well-executed, compelling, and never lose sight of achieving the goals of my clients.
