Chicago raised. LA transplant.

After graduating from the University of Illinois Champaign-Urbana with aspirations of an on-air talent career, I set out for California where I got my first job as a Producer/Editor at NFL.com.

7 NFL seasons, 5 Super Bowls, 4 NFL Scouting Combines, 2 NFL Drafts, a few Shorty Award wins, and an Emmy nomination. I went from producing NFL Fantasy Live on NFL Network to the social media world. I started by owning and managing the NFL Fantasy properties, growing their handle over 600K+ in my time overseeing it, while also overseeing NFL Media Talent/Influencer social media strategy and content execution, and also managing a team of social media production assistants under the Social Media Integration team.

Now, I’m Co-Founder and CEO of PinkDear LLC — a Social Media Consulting Agency designed to help build engaging communities for brands and influencers. The biggest thing I wanted to do was go out and help brands build their social media presence by education and content creation skills. Also, I’m a public speaker on social media and my journey through social media.

What am I like outside of all this work stuff? You’ll probably find me roaming around LA eating and drinking with friends, posting up at Disneyland, or watching an insane amount of Netflix and TV shows.

Find me on social mostly being angry at the Chicago Bears, dreaming about my next vacation, or engaging people to be their own brand.
