I’m a marketing and communications leader with more than 20 years of expertise. I currently serve as the vice president of marketing and studio operations within our ad sales division. I develop strategic opportunities for clients and create new operational strategies to maximize process and efficiencies. One of my major accomplishments in this role is implementing a new platform across the organization that consolidated the number of data repositories sales employees had to access for marketing materials and research. It streamlines their process, as well as providing them with insights into how their clients are consuming their pitches. I previously served as the first-ever senior director of diversity, equity & inclusion strategy for WarnerMedia News and Sports (WMNS), which included CNN Worldwide, Turner Sports, Bleacher Report and WarnerMedia Studios.

There, I was responsible for driving the division’s DE&I strategy, core vision, and internal and external programs, partnerships and opportunities. In September 2020, I was recognized by Cablefax with its inaugural D&I Champion Award for my work in this role. In 2021, I was also recognized by the National Diversity Council as a DEI Champion. I also served as director of ad sales integration for HLN, where I was responsible for developing and implementing the network’s sponsorship strategy with advertising partners for over 12 years. While there, I spearheaded the development of the network’s digital extensions, including establishing the social strategy for all shows. I also led the development of the network’s first, weekly on-air e-commerce segment.
