Guiding principles
My primary guiding principles are truth, authenticity, and seeking discomfort. These principles are something I share with my team. Their entire ethos is about combining quantitative, qualitative, and analytical data to unearth impactful truths that create actionable takeaways.
I use these principles as my north star on all decisions that I make.
How has Covid changed your job?
Covid-19 unearthed the truth that digital communities are not a replacement, rather than an extension of us. This changed my job significantly because my clients no longer perceive social as an ad or content platform. It pushed brands and marketers to take responsibility and show greater empathy.
Side hustle
I practice front-end web development, and I’m very passionate about photography. My end goal is to combine these two passion points and build a digital gallery of my work.
I’m also a proud dog parent; believe me, that’s a full-time side hustle.
