Strategist. Researcher. Storyteller. I focus on uncovering stories and revealing human truths through the use of empathy. My super power is my acute sense of intuition and knowing the right questions to ask that lead to provocative insights. I have spent the majority of my career working for some of the country’s leading Advertising Agencies on both coasts, including Saatchi & Saatchi in NYC and Hal Riney in San Francisco.
