In addition, I manage and mentor emerging agency leaders and have a passion for discovering and developing talent.

When I’m not wearing my professional pants, you'll find me chasing around my 5-year-old daughter while holding my infant daughter, armchair quarterbacking Chicago sports, meditating (probably for 10 minutes or less), scrolling Threads, and attempting and failing to listen to all of the podcasts in my queue.

This is good social media. 


Here’s why: 

- it’s super simple: 3 words
- it’s immediately gettable: it’s rooted in a truth: sloths are slow.  
- it’s objectively funny: humor drives engagement and (once again) sloths are slow.

And I'm sure there are several more strategic insights someone smarter than me could share about why this works. 

The lesson: don’t overthink your social content.
