I’m one of those rare blends of both creative and organized—as a kid I made my own clothes AND cleaned my friends’ rooms for fun. It’s basically been that way ever since.

I’ve worked in the creative industry for a long time. I’m currently Talent Lead for Google’s Brand Studio. Previously, I served as Global Head of Creative Operations at HubSpot and VP, Creative Operations at Pandora/SiriusXM. I have also been an independent team consultant and career/leadership advisor for several clients across the creative industry. My approach for all is to blend efficiency and strategic problem-solving with a deep care for people.

My career started in nonfiction media producing The Al Franken Show—a live daily radio show on Air America Radio that included a TV series and 50+ live events that I tour managed across the country, including at Election Night, SXSW and Sundance. I also produced for Al Gore’s Emmy Award-winning documentary shorts network, Current TV, and a live daily show on XM Satellite Radio; co-owned a video production company, and distributed documentary films and series to public television with the award-winning series, Independent Lens, ITVS. and Marigold Media Group.

I studied sociology, education and music at Lewis & Clark College and radio journalism at The Salt Institute for Documentary Studies.

All of this has taken me from Northeastern Ohio to Portland, OR and ME, NYC, DC, SF, LA and now the East Bay.

To balance all the job-jobs and moves, I’ve always had a steady stream of creative passion projects. I create workshops and events, write a creativity newsletter, have played guitar since the 90’s, and currently find the ultimate relaxation in an array of crafts, ideally involving the paper cutter. I also co-created/produced the music podcast Select Five, the original iteration of How To Be Less Old on Wolfpop/Earwolf, and story editor for All My Exes. I’m so grateful to have spent my entire life engaged in the arts and surrounded by artists.

I also love skylines, city walks, short hikes, hearing/watching the ocean and rarely going in, quiet mornings, museums, bookstores, shows of all sorts, documentaries, tennis, time with friends and family, and raising my smart, funny, creative, beautiful daughter.
