With 8+ years of experience, I work with a mix of retainer clients and agency partners, leading media strategy, storytelling, and influencer initiatives across lifestyle, hospitality, travel, wellness, and consumer tech. My work spans major cultural moments, including New York Fashion Week, Art Basel, the Met Gala, Frieze, and WTM London, developing integrated strategies that bridge creativity with measurable impact. I’ve secured national and regional broadcast placements, including Good Morning America, and driven coverage across key U.S. media markets such as New York, Los Angeles, and Las Vegas, in addition to top-tier print and digital outlets including Vogue, The Wall Street Journal, Condé Nast Traveler, Bloomberg, Fast Company, Forbes, Travel + Leisure, Architectural Digest, AFAR, Today Show, and the Los Angeles Times. Whether leading a long-term PR program for a brand, supporting agency teams on a consulting or white-label basis, producing a brand activation, or shaping a thought leadership platform, I bring a creative yet strategic approach. Connecting the right message to the right audience at the right moment.
