Questions & Answers

What is your five-year plan?
I'd love to grow in my position with the inclusion of creatives and increasingly popular ad platforms. I've gotten married and am in the competitive home search!
What was your favorite project to work on?
Eastern State Penitentiary and Syracuse Nationals are two of my favorite shoot locations. Helping a client drive traffic to launch their new business was rewarding on the Ads side of work.

Living out the COVID-19 quarantine at home was quite interesting; a lot of streaming of binge-worthy shows. I was part of our 30% workforce in April and helped clients navigate advertising in a pandemic.
