What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a role that challenges me and allows for innovative marketing strategies.

I'm a results-driven performance marketing leader with over 13 years of experience in paid social media. My career has been defined by my ability to develop and implement innovative strategies that drive significant increases in digital channel sales. I have a proven track record of managing large budgets and leading teams to deliver exceptional results in fast-paced environments.

Currently, I serve as the Sr. Client Strategy Director at BMG360, where I lead client meetings, manage a diverse team, and play a crucial role in client relationship management. My previous roles include Associate Director of Paid Social at GroupM/Essence Global, where I successfully managed a $15.79 million budget for Target Corporation's holiday campaigns, achieving a 34% year-over-year increase in digital sales. I pride myself on my ability to foster collaboration and mentor teams to achieve their best.
