Brands I've helped grow.

Every brand has a voice. My job is to find it, sharpen it, and turn it into content that actually converts without losing what makes the brand worth following.

I joined Business Insider in 2018 and led the brand's launch on TikTok in 2019 as one of the earliest media companies on the platform. I built and launched 10 branded TikTok accounts across Business Insider's portfolio from zero including Food Insider and Insider. I owned short-form video strategy across every major platform, managing direct platform partnerships with TikTok and Meta, generating $1M+ in revenue. Towards the end of my time at the company, I revamped Instagram with a traffic-first content strategy and delivered a 611% increase in site traffic in the first month of implementation.

Building a TikTok identity for one of the biggest beauty retailers in the country.

Art Basel
Super Bowl

I owned Ulta Beauty's TikTok presence end-to-end, from strategy, content production, UGC creator management, sales campaigns, and day-to-day community work. This wasn't just posting content; it was building a recognizable TikTok brand for a retailer that needed to feel native on a platform its customers live on. Highlights include supporting the Rare Beauty brand launch at Ulta and leading two consecutive years of promotion for Ulta Beauty World, one of the brand's most viral recurring moments. I also covered live brand activations at the Super Bowl and Art Basel.

  • Owned TikTok strategy, production, and community for one of the US's biggest beauty retailers.
  • Supported the Rare Beauty launch at Ulta, one of the most anticipated beauty retail drops of the year.
  • Led promotion for Ulta Beauty World two years running, both resulting in viral moments.
  • Managed UGC creator relationships (30+ creators at a time), ensuring content felt authentic to the platform.

Upon joining Gallery Media Group, I took over full TikTok management for Cetaphil, a legacy skincare brand with a loyal audience and serious untapped growth potential. I drove aggressive follower growth in the first quarter and produced viral videos in back-to-back years, both 2023 and 2024. Back-to-back isn't luck. It's a repeatable approach. I managed UGC creator partnerships and community to keep the brand presence feeling authentic and engaged. I also led live event coverage at a brand activation at New York Fashion Week, placing a skincare brand in a fashion context that resonated.

  • 20.5% follower growth in the first three months. Fast results, not a slow build.
  • Produced viral videos in both 2023 and 2024, each crossing 1M+ views.
  • Managed UGC creator partnerships (20+ creators at a time) to keep community content authentic and brand-aligned.
