I got into social media because I liked writing witty captions, then I stayed because I fell in love with capturing content. After a while I became fixated on strategy and analytics. Now, 10+ years later I seamlessly blend all of those skills on a daily basis.
After spending the first 8 years of my career working for professional sports teams, I’ve now spent the last two years as the Social Media Lead for Audi of America.
As the Social Media Lead for the @audiusa social media accounts and their 33 million combined followers, I’m responsible for social strategy, creative review, content calendar and maintaining the day-to-day relationship with our agency of record. I help integrate social into national brand campaigns, attend content shoots, and more.

The Journey
Washington Wizards
In the summer of 2021 I joined the NBA’s Washington Wizards as their Senior Manager of Social Media. I was so excited to get back into basketball and work with an organization that is as forward thinking as Monumental Sports.
Houston Texans
In May 2020 I joined the Houston Texans as their Social Media Manager. It was a challenging year with the pandemic and the results on the field, but we still were able to create exciting content.
Denver Nuggets
I spent three years in Denver serving as their lead content producer, main social publisher and social ideation lead. I helped in identifying content types that are on brand and optimal for each social platform while also helping to grow our channels more than nearly any other NBA team.
Green Bay Packers
During my time in Green Bay I really honed my skills and learned the importance of having everything in line with the vision and voice of the brand.
Iowa State Athletics
My internship with Iowa State University’s Athletic Department was my first introduction to doing social for a brand. As part of their marketing department I helped to grow their social platforms, engage fans and push marketing objectives for each of the athletic teams.
Intro
I love finding new ways to develop content that people can connect with and makes our brand stand out in the digital space. I’m always looking for ways to showcase our players as people and using their personalities and personal styles to resonate with an audience that wants more than just sports.
