Born in Dallas, I’ve spent over a decade leading creatives in video marketing and on set for brands like BET, Cadillac, General Motors, and the Cochran Firm. I help teams balance story and strategy—whether highlighting emotions over features, shaping scripts, or working the room —always asking, “What will the audience take away?” 

I’m an out-of-the-box thinker who tackles problems, builds partnerships, and delivers results.

Building trust is central to my work. At GM, I interviewed 41 national top dealers, earning the buy-in needed to capture their insights. I’ve also applied these practices with Artstillery, a non-profit turning marginalized oral histories into immersive experiences, helping the team focus creatively, communicate clearly, and fundraise effectively.
