Welcome.

Stay awhile. Let’s get to know each other.

 

Hi! I’m a social and content leader with 12+ years of experience working across sports, entertainment and brands. I spent six years with the Chicago Bears before moving to the agency side at 160over90, where I’ve had the opportunity to work across leagues, teams, athletes and some pretty incredible brand partnerships. It’s a space that inspires and motivates me, and I’ve been fortunate to turn a lifelong love of sports into a career that lets me work with great people, teams and brands.

Today, much of my work centers on social strategy, content and partnerships. I help brands connect with the fans, teams, and athletes that make sports so special. I lead social and content for Coca-Cola Racing, have worked across Coca-Cola’s Olympic and Paralympic partnerships, and support Reliant Energy’s sports partnerships across the NFL, NBA, MLB and college sports.

Originally from Chicago and now based in Charlotte, I’m happiest exploring a new neighborhood, finding a good spot to eat, catching a race or game, and taking in a little of everything a city has to offer. Take a look around. Here’s some of the work I’m proud to have been part of.

WORK SPOTLIGHT: Thirsty’s Fan HQ by Coca-Cola

Thirsty’s Fan HQ by Coca-Cola is a diner-style experience that opened its doors this past August, serving up fandom and ice-cold refreshment as a celebration for the fans who make college football culture what it is.

It’s been a joy to lead social strategy and creative direction for @thirstysfanhq, turning an idea that was part of the RFP process into a distinctive, culture-led social platform designed to drive relevance, participation and community growth.

Trusted to lead this creative brand work for Coca-Cola, I shaped the social experience end-to-end - from visual direction, launch strategy and content architecture to creative production oversight, copywriting, day-to-day publishing and ongoing community management. Working across creative, partnerships, digital and PR, we brought a social-first storytelling approach to life that connects real-time fan experiences with always-on content - creating a cohesive brand presence that scaled across tour stops while staying authentic to each local community and “distinctly Coca-Cola” (more on that later…)

Leading Coca-Cola Racing’s social community has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my career. This city girl discovered a genuine passion for NASCAR (go to a race!) and found a role that brings together my expertise in brand strategy, social media leadership and audience development. Over the past five seasons, I’ve partnered with drivers, race teams and cross-functional teams to activate Coca-Cola’s NASCAR partnership through creative direction, live-event coverage and fan-first content. From ideation and tone of voice to execution, the guiding principle has been simple: Authentically NASCAR. Distinctly Coca-Cola.

That starts with understanding what makes NASCAR special - its traditions, personalities and, most importantly, the fans. We create work that feels true to the sport and its culture, while bringing Coca-Cola’s unmistakable visual identity, optimism and brand magic to the moments that define it. The goal is creative that belongs in NASCAR and could only come from Coca-Cola.

That approach has helped organically grow our social audience by more than 350% since 2022 and deliver seven-figure brand value. Getting to build a brand I love in a sport I’ve grown to love makes this work especially meaningful to me.

Partnerships That Connect

Team Coca-Cola

Led social strategy and execution across Team Coca-Cola’s athlete channels, directing athlete-led content to bring the brand’s Olympic and Paralympic partnerships to life. At a Toronto content shoot with 12 athlete partners, led social and brand oversight, aligning creative development with Coca-Cola’s brand standards while ensuring content reflected each athlete’s unique personality and journey.

Reliant Stadium Returns

Advised on the multichannel, cross-platform social launch of the Reliant Stadium Returns campaign, developing platform-specific copy, publishing timelines and messaging recommendations grounded in social best practices. Supported talent script development and oversaw video production to ensure a cohesive brand narrative across social touchpoints.

Sports Partnerships

Beyond marquee campaigns, I guide the day-to-day social strategy for Reliant Energy’s sports partnerships across the NFL, NBA, MLB and collegiate programs. Through content that supports local teams and the communities behind them, I help reinforce Reliant’s role as a community partner - powering life at home and the game day experiences that bring fans together.

Highlights and learnings from my time at the Chicago Bears.

  • CHICAGO BEARS | 2020 SEASON KICKOFF

    In a year defined by uncertainty, social unrest and division, the 2020 Season Kickoff video recognized that the role of the Chicago Bears extended beyond the field. Rooted in the resilience and spirit of my hometown, the content delivered a message of unity and hope.

    I led the creative vision from pitch through production, shaping the concept, writing the script and directing the video to bring that message to life. It’s still one of the most meaningful and rewarding creative opportunities of my career.

PHOTOGRAPHY

Whether it’s a DSLR or an iPhone, I enjoy being behind the lens as well as the editing process. Aside from a few photojournalism classes at NIU, I’m mostly winging it with the help of some trusty apps, an artistic eye and personal passion.

Let’s connect.
