Act I. Learning my craft. I spent decades working at advertising agencies, brands and start-ups on the west and east coast on accounts big and small, from Honda to Lexus, to Microsoft, to Tide and Downy, to name a few.
Act II. Becoming a change agent. I got involved with The 3 Percent Conference, first as a speaker and eventually as the Chief Creative Officer. Along the way, I started Speed Mentoring - the first of many side hustles that helped folks connect and build community.
Act III. Learning as I teach/teaching as I learn. In 2016 I was invited to be a Professional in Residence at Quinnipiac University, where I fell in love with teaching and decided to make it my final act. For the last eight years, I’ve been leveraging what I learned from my decades of experience to help grad and undergrad students learn the real-world lessons they need to become “business ready”.
Higher ed institutions I’ve taught at (thus far) include: Columbia University, Fordham University, Quinnipiac University, The City College of New York, Baruch College, and City Tech (NYCCT).
