ACD | COPYWRITER

I’m well-versed in both digital and traditional advertising, working at agencies such as Saatchi & Saatchi NY, Grey New York, 360i, and FCB New York, on many diverse brands including Target, Oreo, The FDA, JIF, The National Wildlife Refuge, and most recently, Verizon. I've also been lucky enough to partner with clients on award-winning creative.

Despite all my hard work in advertising, I love to tell people that I own a hotdog cart outside The Met. In my spare time I study Italian, play the piano, and make my own pasta sauce. And now you know my stance on the Oxford comma.
