Growing up in a military family, I always had to sport buzz cuts. Father's orders. I didn't discover until college at Northwestern University that I actually had honest-to-God curly hair. #GoCats.
My dad traveled the world working on missile defense. I want to do the same carrying massive ideas. I don't think advertising has reached its full potential yet as a creative arsenal for good.
I’ve done stints at Leo Burnett, Big River Advertising, Capital One, UWG and Whirlpool.
I'm for hire, curly hair and all.
Currently, I live in Chicago. But every army brat knows your duty station can change at the drop of a hat. And that home is wherever there are people who love you, dearly.

For the last two years, I have been the lead writer for The Home Depot Retool Your School Program. This longstanding program is a chance for Historically Black Colleges and Universities to win grants from The Home Depot to help improve their campuses. I write for TV, video, radio, print, email, and social. Here is a taste of the work.
