Summary
I will begin a new career as a middle school ELA teacher at Holden Elementary in Chicago in the fall of 2024. As a creative director at Octane Rich Media, I led the development of engaging and innovative marketing and communications programs for clients across various industries. I have over 15 years of experience in creating and executing award-winning, high-performance campaigns in traditional and non-traditional media, including print, TV, digital, experiential, and 360 video. With extensive experience in copywriting and concept development, communications programs, creative direction, strategic storytelling, and integrated marketing. I have a proven track record of delivering results that exceed client expectations and drive business growth. Some of my notable achievements include driving the multi-channel launch campaign for Lunchables Uploaded, which surpassed sales projections by 40% in the first month; creating a C-suite internal communications video series for Marmon and Duracell; and presenting at SXSW Interactive on the aesthetics of social media. I am passionate about exploring new ways of connecting with audiences and creating memorable brand experiences.
