Partnerships don't live in one lane. I build brand relationships, activation strategies, and campaigns across sports, entertainment, music, and culture — wherever brands and audiences connect.

About Me

The Playbook

I'm a brand partnerships and marketing professional based in Chicago. I build the kind of relationships that make brands matter — in arenas, on screens, at festivals, and everywhere culture moves.

My foundation is in sports. At rEvolution, I managed Continental Tire's MLS Creator Network, contributed to pitches for Qatar Airways, EA CFB26 × Discover, and NetApp × NFL. But corporate partnerships is a function, not a vertical — and my skills translate anywhere brands need to activate, tell stories, and connect with audiences.

Entertainment, music, film, streaming, gaming — these industries run on the same partnership infrastructure as sports. Sponsor integration, creator ecosystems, brand activation, campaign reporting. That's the work I do, and the only thing that changes is the logo on the jersey.

I hold a B.A. in Sports Communication from DePaul University and am currently pursuing an MBA in Business Administration at Louisiana State University Shreveport, with a concentration in marketing strategy, graduating December 2026.
