A few words about me.

First and foremost, I am a voice in this world, and I deserve to be heard. 

I am the Head of Media Representation at Google, and lead our efforts to create a more inclusive and equitable media ecosystem. I work hand-in-hand with product teams, and build industry shifting partnerships that reach and elevate intersectional and often underrepresented voices. 

Prior to this role I was Global Outreach Lead and a founding member of the Google News Initiative (GNI). I oversaw events and brand experiences, and managed programs and partnerships designed to build the future of media. In 2019 I was a finalist for AdColor’s Innovator of the Year award for my work in diversity in tech and media.

In the spirit of doing many things, I'm also a spokesperson for Google, and provide television and radio commentary on news, technology and pop culture trends. I appear on The TODAY Show, CNBC, CNN, FOX News, ABC News and NPR.  

Back in the day I worked with Waggener Edstrom as an Account Manager for Microsoft, overseeing national broadcast, consumer product launches and marketing integrations for Windows, Windows Phone and Surface. Prior to that I spent many years as communications strategist and on-air spokesperson at AOL, managing brands including the Huffington Post, MapQuest and AOL.com.

One of my most rewarding experiences was as an adjunct at NYU, where I taught the course PR 2.0: Using Social Media Channels to Actively Engage Customers and Their Communities.

I reside in New York City, but will always be a girl raised in the South.
