Career highlights
Since joining General Motors less than a year ago, I have redefined how Chevrolet and GMC show up in the region, shifting from spec-heavy narratives to emotionally resonant storytelling. By leading bold, integrated PR and influencer campaigns, I have helped the brands connect more meaningfully with audiences, driving marketing synergy, record-breaking engagement, millions of organic impressions, and global recognition for making automotive content feel human, relevant, and impossible to ignore.
Guiding principles
Tell stories people feel, not just hear. Even in a spec-heavy world like automotive, what truly drives connection is relevance, emotion, people and culture. I also believe the best work starts by listening – to trends, to people, to the energy behind what moves them.
Side hustle
Professional TikTok scroller by night, healthy dessert tinkerer by weekend.
