About Me
I am a creative strategist for the built environment. I connect communities through the power of place, and help shape how people experience the places they live, work and play.
​
Leading with an entrepreneurial spirit, I have originated roles across performing arts, media, neighborhood development, real estate and tech, weaving together my love for business development and culture.
​
As the first marketing hire for some of NYC's largest real estate developers, I elevated brands through an integrated approach to strategic marketing which includes: communications and media, innovation, repositioning, and customer experiences. Most recently I led CX at Host, CBRE's experience platform that drives engagement and value for investors and owners.
​
Prior to real estate, I worked in neighborhood development at Long Island City Partnership, where I led a strategic rebrand and helped put LIC, Queens on the map. Early in my career, I managed creative solutions at Time Out New York, public relations at Alvin Ailey Dance Foundation, and taught dance in Lugano, Switzerland.
​
I live in Westport, CT, where I serve on the Downtown Planning and Implementation Committee, and live with my husband and two young kids. We are always in search of the best parks, biking and hiking paths, comedy shows and seafood shacks.
