My Story

My journey in marketing began fresh out of college in 2017, when I landed my first role at BET Networks. With a Bachelor of Science in Mass Communications from Lincoln University—focused on strategic communications—I was eager to dive into the world of media and culture. At BET, I had the opportunity to manage over 30 campaigns across paid, owned, and earned media, including digital, social, experiential, and out-of-home activations in promotion of shows like the BET Awards, the BET Hip Hop Awards, Tyler Perry's Sistas and The Oval, Twenties, Boomerang, American Soul, amongst others. It was there I built a strong foundation, becoming well-versed in navigating the entire media ecosystem.

Driven by a desire to deepen my expertise, I earned my Master of Science in Media Management from The New School in 2022, which sharpened my strategic thinking and leadership skills.

Since then, I’ve led marketing for some incredible brands. At Paramount+, I directed integrated campaigns for The Chi, Fellow Travelers, and Dexter: Original Sin driving record-breaking subscriber growth and orchestrating fan experiences that brought communities together.

 

More recently, at Wondery—an Amazon subsidiary—I’ve focused on creator-led, social-first campaigns for flagship video-podcast titles like Baby, This is Keke Palmer, We Playin' Spades, and Nick Cannon @ Night boosting audience growth and cultural relevance across YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and major podcast platforms.

Throughout my career, I’ve managed diverse marketing touchpoints—including media buying, paid social, digital, CRM, OOH, and live activations—across TV, streaming, and podcasting. This has given me a holistic view of how these interconnected media ecosystems come together to tell powerful stories.

What motivates me most is the power of marketing to create authentic cultural moments that resonate and build lasting connections. That passion continues to guide my work every day.
