About me
I have worked in advertising focused on media and communications planning for over 25 years, leading diverse multi-layered accounts for clients like Procter & Gamble and Avon, among others. This experience has afforded me a genuine understanding of the client and agency relationship, and the role of people in delighting clients and driving growth for them. In 2012, I was recognized by AdvertisingAge as a ‘Woman to Watch’ and was the recipient of the John A. Reisenbach Foundation Distinguished Citizen Award in 2016. My personal mantra: ‘The surest way not to fail is to determine to succeed.’- Richard Brinsley Sheridan

I have a great passion and understanding of the business creating a truly client-centric partnership model that has fueled the growth of the agency’s integrated digital and data offer to guide clients through marketing’s transformation. I have also been a driving influence in reinventing MEC’s approach to people development and culture, pioneering the “Inspiring Happiness” workshop that empowers talent both personally and professionally to ensure they thrive at MEC every day.
MEC to me: A collaborative collection of talented and passionate people thriving together as ONE MEC. This is what “MECness” is all about, and what makes us distinct.
