Professional Experience

I am a seasoned Marketing leader with a proven track record of driving next-level growth for agencies and brands. For the past 20+ years, I have led Brand Marketing at several of the industry’s most lauded firms, including The Escape Pod, Havas and Critical Mass. I’ve also spent time as a brand strategist and copywriter at a boutique design studio, led marketing for two software start-ups, worked with Architectural Digest and The New York Times to produce interior design shows, formed my own consultancy, and earned my law degree after graduating with honors from the University of Notre Dame.

Be yourself. Everyone else is already taken.

How'd you get here?

My path has been winding and circuitous, yet along the way, these diverse experiences have shaped my “Swiss army” skill set—combining brand strategy, creative, integrated marketing, internal and external communications, PR, thought leadership and cultural transformation. I am passionate about championing challengers, and when I was looking to make my next agency move, shared values were a dealbreaker. I was very deliberate about finding a place that was aligned with my personal sense of purpose. I found that in FINN. Beyond the amazing clients, full suite of services and incredible momentum, it was their core values, culture and commitment to making a difference that inspired me to join.
