I was in college and my dad refused to let me get a car (ironically, we owned a car dealership). So I found and entered a local radio contest that would let me win one. I just had to be the last person left riding a roller coaster named Wild Thing. Easy. After one night, 5 fast-food meals and over 200 rides around the track, my dad caved and begged me to get off.

Despite only being able to afford a used Ford Taurus, the experience helped me realized how much I love coming up with creative ways to persuade a specific audience. I feel truly fortunate to have found my calling in advertising.

I started my career in NYC at agencies like Ogilvy, BBDO and Grey. I also had freelance stints at Sapient Razorfish and Sony Music before landing in Austin, in-house at Indeed. I was one of the first hires for Indeed’s internal creative agency and I’ve been helping evolve the brand for 6 years now.

When I’m not on the clock, I’m probably indulging in various baked goods, taking an art class or trying to convince my boyfriend that we should adopt another dog (the count is currently 3).

What’s next? I have no idea. So if you do, please get in touch.
