ADVERTISING EXECUTIVE turned
MEDIA ENTREPRENEUR
SCROLL DOWN FOR THE OFFICIAL BIO
It all started on a little platform called Youtube… As an aspiring TV host, I uploaded my very first video for practice, thinking no one would see it.
Instead, I became one of the first “real” faces of COVERGIRL and Proactiv+
(basically, I was hired as an “influencer” before that was even a marketing department or job title),
and it opened the door for my on-camera career in entertainment news, and in the transformative time of what has evolved into social media and streaming as we know it now, and served as the foundation for everything I am and have built today. All because of a function called “copy and paste”.
THE HIGHLIGHTS:
Successful career in TV as a LIVE on-air host and producer for brands like ESPNU, E! Entertainment, Entertainment Tonight and Hollywire
Became the youngest full-time correspondent on the Today Show Australia covering entertainment news and red carpet reports from Hollywood
Headlined a morning radio show and became the first brand manager of two major radio stations in a top market (pretty much unheard of for women and with zero radio experience)
First paid speaking gig was opening for Gary Vaynerchuk
Led national advertising agency as Director of Marketing and Communications, leading digital strategy and serving as a face of the company brand
Became a Certified High-Performance Coach under the direction and guidance of Brendon Burchard
Named one of the Top 100 Women to Watch on TikTok by TikTok
Launched the first-ever real estate talent bureau and featured in the Hollywood Reporter
More to come…
