MARKETING WITH PURPOSE, GOOD VIBES & RADICAL CANDOR

Raised in the Metro Detroit area within a family of entrepreneurs, creatives, and small business owners, I grew up learning the importance of understanding (and wielding) both the rational and emotional drivers of customers. It was this combination of behavioral psychology, creativity, and business acumen that inspired me to pursue a business degree with a focus on marketing, communications, and digital audiences. I’m grateful to have grown up in a region with a rich history, complex business landscape, and nuanced cultural dynamics. It instilled me with a great deal of grit, agility, compassion, and curiosity for human behavior that has been a huge driver of personal and professional growth.

At my core, I view things through an operator’s lens and a growth-mindset. Throughout my career, I’ve bounced between in-house and agency teams for a reason – I wanted to design an cooperative approach to partnership that bridged the gaps and blind spots most teams miss. So often, the friction points I witnessed between agencies and brand teams resulted from a lack of genuine understanding an empathy. And for start-ups and scale-ups, there’s no margin for error or mis-alignment, so I set out to fix that with the launch of Hello Helio, an agency designed to partner with early-stage companies and adapt with them as they scale.
 
Above all, blending creativity and growth strategy together is what I most enjoy. While marketing tends to be one of the most high-pressure, high-stakes functions, it's the challenge of combining art and science to generate outcomes and impact that I genuinely love. I pride myself on operating with radical candor and good vibes, aiming to work with like-minded people who share a similar philosophy and work ethic. I enjoy working with purpose-driven founders, change-makers, innovators, and visionaries who see a better future for our world, and have the courage to tackle complex issues.
