About me
Part strategist, part storyteller, fully human.
My path has been anything but linear — and that's my edge. I began as a content writer on tech blogs, where research met curiosity, then moved through market research and into digital marketing: SEO, personal branding, online reputation management and content strategy for a wide range of clients.
As a Project Manager I spearheaded strategy for TVCs, directed production for short films and led a 20+ person team while owning budgets and client relationships. In healthcare administration I learned how great operations quietly power great companies.
Today I run Ankura Studios, a visual storytelling studio that turns real moments into timeless, emotional, cinematic stories — for brands and for people — while studying ACCA to keep the business side as sharp as the creative.
