A Bit About Me

I grew up in the world of theatre; the stage was my canvas. I thrived on the energy of collaboration, the spark of creativity, and the art of spinning narratives that gripped an audience. While I've held on to my love for storytelling, my time as a Northwestern Student made me realize new passions: analytics and exploring the intricacies of the human psyche in a more psychologically applied – and less jazz-hands-heavy – context.

​

This realization was the launchpad for my journey into marketing and consumer strategy. I could still deliver information with my particularly powerful storytelling edge, but now to consumers and clients rather than patrons of the arts. As a student at the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University, I studied Integrated Marketing Communications, which strengthened my consumer analytics and marketing strategy skills, enabling me to engage with these new audiences effectively

​

Since shifting my focus to a career in marketing, I have worked hard to earn opportunities to develop in my early career. Through internship experiences on marketing teams at AMC Networks and NBCUniversal, I honed my abilities to think strategically and collaborate effectively in a corporate setting. I have had the pleasure of returning to my internship team at AMC Networks as a full-time Integrated Marketing Coordinator, where, since August 2024, I've taken ownership of turnkey marketing executions, developed client pitches, and developed B2B marketing campaigns to build momentum for our Ad Sales business.

​

Through and through, I'm committed to exploring how the worlds of storytelling and analytics intersect through effective B2B and B2C communications. I continue to leverage my unique theatrical background in the corporate space to create waves and bring innovative solutions to the table that capture the interest of consumers and clients alike.
