I began my marketing career while still a student here at Texas A&M. I began by doing graphic design/marketing for several student organizations, apprenticed at the MSC Print Shop and also spent a summer doing marketing at the Grove Outdoor Theater on campus. After college, I moved to New York City and worked in Advertising, Public Relations and Marketing my entire career. My last position in NYC was as Vice President/Creative Director for a global public relations agency. Over my career, I have worked with companies/brands such as Colgate, American Express, Mastercard, Cover Girl, American Girl Dolls, Don Julio Tequila, Payless Shoes, ADP, Schick as well as many others. I moved back to College Station in 2011 and spent 10 years working as Director of Marketing & Communications for the University Libraries before joining Education & Human Development in Spring of 2022.
