About Me
With over 25 years experience, I’m an award-winning writer prolific in both humor and heartstrings. I’m also a brand builder, team leader, culture creator, believer in the magic of empathy, and a skilled presenter across everything from Fortune 500 companies to tiny non-profits.
As CCO of Oberland, a small purpose-driven agency, my not-so-secret dream of pairing creativity with a conscience came true. But I also added profitability and notoriety to the equation. Our team won nationally-recognized clients including e.l.f., Michaels and Thinx. We were named most innovative company of the year by Fast Company, named purpose-led agency of the year twice by Adage, and won numerous industry awards including One show, Effie, Andy, Clio and Cannes where our “So Many Dicks” campaign for e.l.f. got millions of people from teens to business barons talking about boardroom diversity, and had the rare honor of being shortlisted in both Titanium and Glass lions.
I was named to the Adweek Creative 100 list twice, most recently in 2025, and named one of the thirty most creative women in advertising by Business Insider.
Along the way, I’ve worked on big brands like Nike, ESPN, Best Buy, IBM, Kroger and JetBlue. I helped Wheat Thins make their first foray into the SuperBowl (and win a gold lion), raised one million dollars nearly overnight for a Small AIDS Charity, “Keep a Child Alive,” (snagging several gold lions), and when feminine care came calling (U by Kotex) I helped turn the category on its head bidding a fond farewell to blue liquids and white pants.
When I’m not whispering to clients, I’m whispering to dogs, and have represented the U.S in the international sport of dog agility (Yes! It’s a sport. And yes! It’s totally cool!) winning major championships, including Westminster.
