After 2 years in Boston I felt the need to be part of something more substantial. I wanted to be part of changing culture with the kind of people who were capable of that goal. So I headed back to Chicago. My second round at Burnett includes work on on an incredible range of clients including ALDI, Serta, Esurance, General Motors, McDonald’s, Fiat, Kellogg's and Sprint. The aforementioned experience includes launching the Fiat 500 in Europe, leading McDonald’s largest-ever out-of-home… Show more After 2 years in Boston I felt the need to be part of something more substantial.

I accepted a demotion and a pay-cut for an opportunity to work on VW at Arnold but that was not to be. The account was lost 3-weeks after my arrival. In the next 2-years we created award-wining work for Timberland, Ocean Spray, McDonald's and Tyson Chicken. I was also part of the team who won the Progressive Insurance business.

I left GSD&M seeking a new challenge and found Burnett. It was big, fast and competitive. I got to work on diverse clients including Allstate, Kellogg's, P&G and Beck's Beer. I loved every minute of it.

My first real job in advertising started off as an internship, evolved into a freelance position and resulted in a full-time job. At GSD&M I was a "floater," jumping from project to project, putting my hands on anything I was allowed to touch (and probably some things I wasn't supposed to touch). I am eternally grateful for the foundation those talented people helped me build.

I got coffee, refilled printer paper, designed decks and most importantly, I learned. This opportunity equipped me to take the next step in my career.
