Experience
Head of Social
Apr 2025 — Present
I lead social-first creative strategy with a focus on driving brand love and cultural relevance. Since April 2025, I\'ve spearheaded the evolution of the brand’s voice into a bold, absurdist, Gen Z–native presence across TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and X, resulting in multiple viral moments and sustained organic growth (including 2x TikTok growth). My work spans planned calendar content, community management, real-time cultural engagement, and brand activations. I collaborate closely with brand, digital, media, and external agency partners to translate cultural insights into scalable creative systems that support product launches, partnerships, and long-term brand equity.
