Professional achievements
• Grown from intern to managing partner, helping lead Stone Ward through one of its biggest growth chapters.
• Mentored high-performing teams, led nationally recognized campaigns and shaped strategies for brands I genuinely believe in.

Community involvement
Youth sports coach; mentor, students and young professionals pursuing careers in marketing.

Career dream as a child
“As a kid, I wanted to be Jim Carrey. I was obsessed with his movies and constantly impersonated his characters. I loved how he made people feel — something I still try to do today, just in a different way.”

Most fulfilling career moment
“Some of my most fulfilling moments come from handwritten thank-you notes from clients or teammates. I’ve saved every one and reread them often. They remind me that the relationships we build are the most meaningful part of the work.”

One word to describe you
“Playfully sharp.”
