About
I am a Creative Director at Accenture. Drawing from 20 years of diverse experience across advertising, filmmaking and screenwriting, I use my multidisciplinary skills to create emotive human stories that engage audiences and drive results for iconic global brands. As a creative lead, I am passionate about collaborating with designers and strategists to help shape the way brands interact with the world and impact our everyday lives. A conceptual thinker and versatile storyteller, I bring deep functional experience in brand identity, positioning, strategy, messaging, copywriting and integrated campaign development across industries and media, including film, TV, digital, experiential, print, OOH, audio and more. An award-winning director and screenwriter, my short films have screened at more than 30 prestigious film festivals and venues worldwide, including Sundance, SXSW and the Film Society of Lincoln Center’s Independents Night at the Walter Reade Theater. I have an MFA in Film from Columbia University School of the Arts and am a member of NYWIFT, New York Women In Film and Television.
