When culture meets strategy,
Stories become impact.

As a Creative Brand Strategist and Writer based in Brooklyn, NY I bring over a decade of branding and communications experience—shaping strategy for global brands including JPMorganChase, Nike, Google, American Express, REFORM Alliance, and Cedars-Sinai, as well as small businesses and non-profits across the country.

Approaching my work with a playful curiosity, I pair data-driven insights with contextual storytelling that drives business solutions and builds drivers of culture across a range of creative and organizational challenges. Currently, I am a Senior Creative Strategist at On Board Experiential, and previously held strategy roles in design, branding, and advertising at Sylvain and Droga5.

Outside my role as a Strategist, I’m a cultural writer passionate about mental health, lifestyle, and wellbeing, and I aspire to continue advancing pathways for Black creatives through advocacy for higher education and early-career advancement.
