Marketing and Sales

As a passionate strategist and partnership builder, I bring a unique blend of creativity and strategic acumen to the table. With a proven track record in social, content, creative, and performance media strategy, I've crafted integrated projects for renowned brands like American Eagle, Macy’s, PepsiCo, Chewy, Wayfair, Comcast, Delta Air Lines, Samsung, and Whirlpool Corporation. My expertise lies in content marketing, brand development, and understanding consumer behavior. 

Since joining TikTok in 2020, I've served as both a Team Lead, Specialty Retail, and a Brand Partner, Fashion & Luxury, leading the charge in establishing net-new vertical-specific infrastructures for a portfolio of 30+ retail brands. My role allowed me to unlock C-level partnerships, secure high-profile visibility opportunities and exceed revenue goals consistently. I pioneered first-to-market products and initiatives, showcasing my ability to innovate at scale.

Before joining TikTok, I learned quality work ethic and scrappiness during my ad agency tenure as a VP of Strategy at Edelman and Associate Director of Strategy at Digitas, contributing to award-winning campaigns for Delta SkyMiles and JennAir. My thought leadership in the advertising space has been recognized in Digiday, AdWeek, and AdAge. I've also shared my insights at the NYC Social Media Strategies Summit.

I hold a Master of Arts degree in Performing Arts Administration from NYU Stern & Steinhardt, along with a Bachelor of Science in Arts Administration & Theatre Performance from Butler University. My passion for the arts extends to my training at the Moscow Art Theatre School in Russia.

Living in Brooklyn, I'm not just a strategist; I’m a dreamer, constantly envisioning the next adventure, whether it's jet-setting to new places or gathering friends for dinner and drinks.
