The foundation of effective marketing and advertising is built upon the core skills of communication and relationships building. These are skills that have been a part of my life as far back as I can remember. One of my very first jobs, at just 12 years old, was a caddy at a local country club. This experience took me way outside my comfort zone, but ultimately taught me how to talk to and socialize with professionals while building real relationships – skills I continue to rely upon to this day. Uniquely, I pursued a degree in negotiation which gives me with the knowledge and skill to make my clients’ budget go even further. But more than education and experience alone, I’m passionate about bringing people together so that everyone benefits. I am intentional about working to build trust with clients and media representatives alike. Having previously worked for multiple agencies, I took all of my experiences – the good and the bad – and used them to establish my own full-service agency, Mid-Atlantic Media Hub, which is built upon experience, transparency and solid relationships.
