Project I am Proud of
It’s been really great working across a variety of account teams. My favorite project so far has got to be working on the launch of Kiya & the Kimoja Heroes. We were able to launch an underrepresented character in children’s programming – a Black girl protagonist in the superhero genre – in a fun and splashy way.
Favorite Memory Here
My favorite memory has been coming back to work for the agency. I’m a boomerang, having worked across the OSEN group of agencies. Coming back after working for a big brand was like coming home and everyone was so welcoming!
Best Piece of Advice I've received
The best advice I’ve received is to not worry myself into a milestone or a “next step”. If things are working out to just let them, you don’t always have to be pushing toward the next thing. You can enjoy the moment.
My Advice for Someone Just Starting Out
Be a sponge and don’t close any doors. You don’t have to commit to doing or being one thing. Sometimes the best opportunities come from keeping your options open and seizing what comes your way.
