What does in-culture mean to you?

To be in-culture means to contribute, not just
latch onto an existing moment, idea or conversation.

When did you start working at Weber Shandwick?

In May of 2021.

In five words or less, how would you describe your
Weber Shandwick colleagues?

Passionate, collaborative, smart and dedicated.

If you weren’t working in this industry, what would
you want to do?

I’d probably pursue a career in the outdoors like
the National Park Service. I’m really passionate
about diversifying the outdoor industry and love
seeing the joy on the faces of my fellow BIPOC
folks when they immerse themselves in nature.

If there were a Weber Shandwick yearbook, what would
your superlative be?

“Most likely to sneak their dog into the office.”

What’s the best piece of career advice you’ve ever gotten?

To diversify your skillsets. It’s important to be
multifaceted and bring more than one expertise to
the table.

Who is someone that inspires you right now?

There are so many. I’m inspired by women who are
unapologetic to themselves, courageous in their
words and persistent in their grind.

What’s your favorite way to unwind in your free time?

Getting outdoors with my dog, Melo. And if that’s
not possible, a stop at a local record store.

What’s your favorite thing about NYC?

The endless opportunities for adventure.

Where would you love to travel in the world to gain
inspiration?

Anywhere new. I’ve been to 16+ countries and just
as many U.S. states. I love expanding my worldview.

My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style.
