About Me

The person behind the strategy.

I'm an Account Manager at SJR, a WPP content agency in New York City. Over five years I've led client relationships across financial services, luxury retail, automotive, energy, and nonprofit, covering everything from day to day strategy to full program delivery.

I studied Business Administration at RIT and have worked in client services ever since. I like the client facing side of the work: building relationships, spotting opportunities, and seeing programs through from brief to launch.

Lately I've been building AI workflows for client services work, taking the busywork out of scoping, pricing, and reporting so more time goes to the clients themselves.

How I Work

A different kind of account lead.

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 keep tabs on what clients and their competitors are doing. Some of my best project ideas, including ones that turned into signed work, started with research I did on my own.

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 fits their business.

03
Own It Start to Finish

Once a program 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
Work Smarter, Then Share It

If a task repeats, it can be systematized. I build tools and templates, including AI workflows, that make the whole team faster and keep quality consistent.

Values

What I Believe In.

Proactive Over Reactive

The best opportunities don't arrive in briefs. They come from curiosity and from understanding what clients need before they ask.

Clarity Over Complexity

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

Delivery Is the Strategy

A great idea means nothing without strong 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. Long term partnerships are where the best work happens, so I invest in them.

Own the Outcome

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

Always Be Learning

Every industry has taught me something new, and so has every new tool. Staying curious makes me a sharper strategist and a better partner.
