About

Paid media, with a communications foundation.

I work across programmatic, paid social, campaign planning and performance analysis — with hands-on DV360 activation and LinkedIn demand-generation experience, supported by several years in marketing and communications across global markets.

That background shapes how I approach media: I read a brief for what it's really asking, translate an audience into a platform structure, and stay close to the data after a campaign goes live — not just to report delivery, but to explain what changed and why.
