about me
At first glance, I’m a mother and grand living in CT who has had an undeniable passion for my career. I’ve worked with Josh for over 13 years, and I’m honored to call him a closest friend as well as co-worker given our matching work ethics. In our business, we are blessed to meet many people, but Josh is a rare jewel in the box of life. I’d like to take a moment to share my background.
With a wealth of experience in account management and execution/production services on the agency side, I have spent many years delivering exceptional results across various marketing categories, including experiential, sponsorships, digital, promotional/sweepstakes (international), social media, and hospitality events. My diverse industry background spans high-profile entertainment networks such as ABC, NBC, and FX, where I spearheaded show launches (i.e., American Idol, The View, Project Runway, and Sons of Anarchy are just a few) and managed significant sponsorship agreements, including with MSG, SoFi and Barclays.
In the realm of sports, I have played a pivotal role in executing events for prestigious college championships (Game Day, PAC12, and ACC Final Four) and served professional teams, including the Yankees, Bears, Penguins, Pistons, and Knicks. My technology experience includes working with industry leaders like AT&T, and I've collaborated with corporate giants such as VOSS, Kimberly Clark, BP, Disney, American Express, and Mastercard.
A passionate mentor with over 50 mentees to my credit, I thrive on guiding emerging talent in the industry. My job experience encompasses various critical elements, from creative ideation and client management (understanding client needs and crafting strategic plans) to vendor and partner management, team leadership (overseeing teams of 5-100), and the development of statements of work (SOW), budgeting, and invoicing. I have successfully managed a project event for a $100 million account, demonstrating my capacity to operate in high-stakes environments while delivering top-notch results. I am deeply committed to fostering collaboration and innovation, ensuring every project exceeds client expectations and drives measurable success.
Always ready for the next challenge, I look forward to working on this endeavor together.
