While working as a Strategist at JWT, I found myself helping to spearhead the agency's Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) efforts. I became interested in that area of the industry. Eventually, I took a position at the American Association of Advertising Agencies (4A's), running their legacy diversity talent development programs: the Multicultural Advertising Intern Program (MAIP) and the 4A's Foundation. I eventually transitioned my focus to improving the 4A’s level of efficacy and industry engagement in the areas of Talent and Education. I developed strategic plans and created partnerships that enable the 4A's to deliver the best possible talent development services to the advertising industry.

The next stop on my journey took me to R/GA as their first head of Director of Diversity and Inclusion. I was charged with implementing and overseeing all diversity and inclusion practices within R/GA’s fast-paced, technologically and creatively driven environment. As an executive team member, I use my 10+ years of industry experience to enrich the diversity of talent, cultivate an ecosystem of respect, foster a global community, and celebrate the tapestry of culture within R/GA’s global network.

After R/GA, I joined the Inclusion Strategy team at Netflix, where I worked closely with the Marketing, PR, Comms and Awards departments as a leadership coach, DEI strategist, thought partner, and subject matter expert.

Here are some awards and highlights from this era in my career:
