I have 20 years of advertising/ media planning expertise at fantastic global and national agencies, including New Media Strategies (current), Ogilvy Washington, McCann-Erickson and Saatchi and Saatchi. I've spent my career designing paid media solutions that address communications and business challenges.

I firmly believe that agencies, marketers and publishers must work in concert and without ego to successfully reach its audiences. To underscore this notion, I serve on the Boards of Directors of the National Press Foundation and the United Way of the National Capitol Area.

I'm the very proud mother of 8yo David Chad, and the founder and operator of a non-profit organization, Everyday Inspirations, which introduces successful professional women of color to new/expectant teen-age mothers.
