Where I’ve Worked
Manager, Program Management — LinkedIn.
I lead a team that provides order to chaos within LinkedIn Editorial through data backed insights, building workflows and setting up toolkits that enable department members do their job as seamlessly as possible.

Executive Producer — BBQ Films.
As the Executive Producer I wear many hats that are all in service of telling the best stories and producing the best events. I lead team meetings, large brainstorm sessions, build sales decks, go on sales pitches, manage client relationships, and build project execution timelines and run project management — all while keeping an eye on the budget.

Program, Product Manager & Operations Lead—
The New York Times.
From The New York Times Store, to the Real Estate Search Product, to launching Programs with our Smarter Living team (check out the 7-Day Money Challenge), to managing the roll out most complicated Home Delivery Price Increase to-date, I have spent my time at The Times working with teams to deliver products that impact their daily lives.

Sr Project Manager — The Wall Street Journal.
I ran the execution for projects that required a custom build once they had been sold. I introduced agile retrospectives to the Custom Studios Department and championed continuous learning. Communication and collaboration were at the heart of all my work, I partnered closely with sales, ad ops, design, editorial and engineering to ensure on time and on budget project delivery.

Project Manager — VaynerMedia.
As the first full-time Project Manager for VaynerMedia, I helped build the Project Management Department. I not only managed my own projects but I built a workflow for a growing creative department; partnered with the leads of engineering, design, and copy to ensure on-time, quality work to clients; built and managed budgets and SOWs; and hired and managed a team of Project Managers.

Product & Account Manager — Flavorpill.
Lead strategy, feature development, client management, and lead generation for the Flavorpill Venue Partner Program — a program that allowed hand-picked venues to bypass the submission process and add content directly to the Flavorpill site.

Multiple Roles — Ann Arbor Film Festival.
From volunteer coordination to filmmaker liaison to production assistant, I worked seasonally at the Ann Arbor Film Festival for five years. I worked closely with other festival staff to meet the needs of the filmmakers, guests and sponsors.

Volunteer Coordinator — Coney Island Mermaid Parade.
For two years I managed the volunteers for the oldest art parade in the country. This involved sourcing volunteers, identifying volunteer needs, and managing day-of. Communication to volunteers and festival staff had to be clear, concise and useful. I had to be ready to solve any last minute needs and make trade-off decisions efficiently and without an impact to the experience of parade participants or onlookers.
