I’m a Creative Operations Manager and designer with twenty years of experience across travel management, pharmaceuticals, publishing, and nonprofits.

At BCD Travel I manage a globally distributed creative team of thirteen, produce executive-level work for Fortune 500 clients, rebuilt a failed DAM from scratch, and built a custom intake system inside Salesforce.

Before BCD I spent five years at Meda Consumer Healthcare managing all packaging, advertising, and promotional materials for regulated OTC brands — FDA compliance built in, not bolted on.
