Experience

Agency: After a year of service through AmeriCorps and a memorable stint with the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Washington, I earned a master’s of communication management from the University of Southern California in marketing and I was off to the marketing world! I spent about eight years in various account management roles at marketing, advertising and public relations agencies. Developing campaigns for brands including Nestle, Samsung, Bulleit Whiskey, Magnolia and Sun-Maid was exciting, fast-paced work. As an Account Director, I managed teams that managed email, direct mail, experiential, and digital campaigns for household brands. I LOVED it.

Corporate: With a hefty knapsack of experiences and tools, I left the agency world to work on the corporate side. I currently work for a Fortune 150 Brand, managing our business marketing portfolio which includes energy efficiency solutions and clean, and renewable energy services. I’m proud of the work our marketing team did to support over $705 MM in sales in 2024 (with a goal of $650 MM.) We serve customers ranging from local mom and pop businesses to large agricultural and manufacturing plants.

D&I: Telling good, inclusive stories comes from experience across cultures, and I’ve committed to seeking those out in both my personal and professional life. Since graduating from Howard University, commonly known as “The Mecca” for its robust international population of students, I proactively sought opportunities to drive inclusion and equity. I volunteered in leadership roles for Employee Resource Groups and I earned a certification in intercultural development.
