ALUMNI

I am a fast-moving, result-driven, outside-of-the-box thinking content creator based in New York City. I graduated from Cornell University in 2020, where I studied Biology and Creative Writing. After getting rejected from all 34 medical schools I applied to (hilarious, I know), I attempted to ride my bicycle across America. Through documenting my journey, I discovered my love for content creation. Since then, I have amassed over 37,000 TikTok followers, created videos that have been seen by tens of millions of viewers, and worked with brands such as TikTok, J. Crew, and UntuckIt. Now, I am moving into my next chapter and seeking full time employment as a content creator, strategist, or copywriter at an agency or brand. I bring a unique perspective, a myriad of lived experiences both inside and outside of the fields of social media advertising and marketing, and a comedic edge that has been proven to consistently resonate with online users.

My intention is to captivate the hearts and minds of individuals through storytelling; creating a community that highlights voices underrepresented and ideas uncharted. Although what is unknown can often cause fear and overwhelm, it can also be an opportunity to learn and grow. Visually communicating stories on screen has given me expert insight on what it means to focus on the development of ideas in order to achieve results. I have been responsible for executing the decoration of sets for film/tv and marketing campaigns that reached wide audiences while maintaining strict budgets, adhering to specific deadlines and negotiating contracts across varying timezones. I understand how to embed the essence of a company into the heart of its consumers. For a film, this looks like transporting the mind of viewers into the fabric of a story so much so, they forget they're watching a screen. For brands, this looks like adapting a product or service to be a natural incorporation into the daily lives of its customers; something they invest in that elevates their quality of living. Through The One Club for Creativity, I’ve had the pleasure of collaborating on successful campaigns for well known brands; authentically connecting with their audiences in order to drive up sales and brand engagement. While I am excited to learn as much as possible from any position, I also looking forward to contributing the knowledge and skills I’ve developed over my last 6 years in production, as well as from the One Creator Lab, a marketing program in partnership with The One Club for Creativity and Tik Tok. As we shift into a space where trust is the most valuable resource, I offer my talents as a tool to authentically connect businesses with their audience.
