Purveyor of fine chocolates located in a historic English cottage by the Sea.

Consulting for AMI, a global management consulting firm based in California, I facilitate clients within the fashion, entertainment and hospitality industries who aspire to heighten their profile within their field. I guide them as to how to best brand themselves within an increasingly competitive market and how to best execute their companies marketing goals. Areas of expertise include resume writing, working collaboratively with executives at all levels to "green light" new ideas, how best to pitch ideas write proposals and execute marketing plans.

New York City

As an account executive at Jonathan Morr Group, a hospitality company with an impressive group of restaurants and boutique hotels, I shadowed CEO Morr to help coordinate all aspects of his responsibilities, special events planning including new restaurant openings, writing press releases and contacting key media friends to help create an editorial presence on the highly competitive Manhattan food scene. Projects included the branding and launch of Theo restaurant, a specialized East Village restaurant, publicity for BondST, Republic, APT, restaurants/lounges as well as Townhouse and La Condessa Hotels.

London, United Kingdom

Working for this specialty London based PR firm, I implemented aggressive brand strategies that were a success in the American market within Europe by co-branding client products with well known entertainment industry leaders including actors, chefs and designers. Aside from the power of the press release, I believed firmly that relationships with editors was crucial to understanding the clients product and therefore derivative of heavy editorial coverage. My passion was the challenge of pursuing new business from potential clients from writing proposals to the in person "pitch."

New York City

Hired specifically to use my industry contacts to launch several store openings and advertising campaigns, I was thrilled by the challenge of taking little known Richemont owned English brands in the U.S. (Alfred Dunhill and Chloe) and introducing them to the American market. Brands with a strong connotation for specialized English-ware, needed to morph strategically so that both fashion editors and clients understood it's wide appeal and array of luxury products. Store openings, special events including the celebrity studded AFI/Alfred Dunhill Golf Classic and strong editor relationships garnered greater media presence that increased both brand recognition and U.S. sales immensely.

New York City

At the forefront of launching the brand Tod's in the U.S. (now owned by LVMH), I helped develop public relations strategies to get the product known by both the press and it's elite clientele. Once of the first publicists to enlist "A" list celebrities to endorse their products, I was a key player in a marketing move that directly increased the company's media presence and sales worldwide. Daily contact with fashion editors and celebrity stylists enabled me to "dress" editorials and celebrity guests for numerous editorials and events. Regular travel to Milan and NYC fashion week helped hone my eye for trends within the fashion and design industries.

New York City

Under the demanding eye of Editor in Chief, Anna Wintour, my organizational, writing, editing and curating skills were honed to meet almost impossible quality criteria and deadlines. Using my multi-tasking skills earned from working within the film industry for 2 years prior, I was able to juggle executive assistant duties with trend forecasting and selecting key portfolios for fashion editorials. Attending NYC fashion week, collaborating with fellow editors, designers, artists and photographers, my eye for detail sharpened. My careful attention to detail helped in the planning and execution of several high profile events including Vogue sponsored design launches and the 1996 CFDA Awards at the White House chaired by Anna Wintour, First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton, Ralph Lauren and the late HRH Princess Diana of Wales.

Los Angeles, Ca

My responsibilities within the Development department of Regency Productions, headed by Producer Arnon Milchan, were to sift through countless script submissions to find feature film potential. Evaluating scripts and writing coverage in an incisive, crisp style enabled the Director of Development, Caryn Landau to bring new talent to the box office screen. From pre to post production, I shadowed every "green lighted" film to execute it's entry into the fiercely competitive marketplace of feature films. I specifically worked on the films "Natural Born Killers," "Boys on the Side,""Sommersby" and "Empire Records" of which I received an IMDb credit.
