About Me

The person behind the strategy.

I'm a Senior Account Executive at GroupSJR, a digital content agency based in New York City. I've spent the last four years managing accounts across luxury, automotive, nonprofit, and energy — covering everything from day-to-day client strategy to full project delivery.

My background is in Business Administration from RIT, and I've been in account management ever since. I like the client-facing side of the work — building relationships, finding opportunities, and seeing projects through from brief to launch.

I try to stay proactive about adding value for the clients I work with, which has led to some good results along the way — including growing several accounts year over year.

How I Work

A different kind of AE.

Most account people wait for the brief. I tend to find the opportunity first — then bring a clear plan to the table.

01
Find the Gap Before Anyone Else Does

I make it a habit to keep tabs on what clients and their competitors are doing. A lot of my best project ideas — including some that turned into real work — started with research I did on my own time.

02
Build the Case, Then Close It

When I spot an opportunity, I don't just flag it. I put together a clear pitch — the rationale, the value, the ask — and bring it to the client in a way that makes sense for their business.

03
Own It Start to Finish

Once a project is moving, I stay on top of every part of it — timelines, budgets, teams, reviews. I like knowing exactly where things stand so nothing falls behind.

04
Grow the Relationship, Not Just the Project

The work tends to be better when the relationship is strong. I try to genuinely understand what clients care about so I can be useful beyond just managing deliverables.

Values

What I Believe In.

Proactive Over Reactive

The best opportunities don't arrive in briefs. They're found through curiosity and genuine investment in understanding what clients need before they ask.

Clarity Over Complexity

Good strategy is simple to explain. I believe in cutting through the noise so everyone stays aligned and nothing gets lost.

Delivery Is the Strategy

A great idea means nothing without flawless execution. The trust that grows accounts comes from showing up every time — on brief, on time, on budget.

Relationships Are Everything

Behind every retainer is a person who trusts you. I invest in those relationships genuinely because long-term partnerships are where the best work happens.

Own the Outcome

I don't pass the buck. If something is off, I find the fix. Accountability is the price of doing work worth being proud of.

Always Be Learning

Every client vertical has taught me something new. Staying curious across industries makes me a sharper strategist and a better partner.
