I’ve managed projects across a variety of businesses — scrappy startups, agencies with 50+ team members, and enterprises like Dell.

At my job at Nickelodeon, I’m fortunate enough to get to work with a variety of influencers and creators — from family influencers focusing on parenthood to beauty influencers to comedy sketch creators.
