From suicide prevention and smoking cessation to helping people connect to places for healthy living, my work has had a direct and tangible impact and inspired positive change. My management experience includes leading design teams at Disney | ABC Television Group and CBS News & Stations in Chicago. I lead by example and have a history of building loyalty within my teams. I am a natural mentor and know how to help others grow and be their very best. Beyond my design skills and a history of success in marketing roles, I have a strong sense of empathy. As a creative professional, it has allowed me to market products and services for my clients. As a leader, understanding how others like to be treated has impacted the productivity of my teams in a positive way.Community and philanthropy are part of my work-life balance. Currently, I work with One for One, an organization that supports young adults living in Chicago neighborhoods with high rates of violent crime and joblessness.
