I have been working in Detroit as a producer/project manager for over 20 years.  I began my career "paying my dues" as an intern at Doner.  After getting hired there as a junior producer I spent many years working on retail accounts like Highland Appliance, Eckerd Drugs, Michigan Lottery and many others.  I worked my way up and learned the business at Doner.  After 8 years I moved to Bozell to work on car advertising - I was living in Detroit after all.  I was immediately sent out for the entire summer to shoot 10 commercials for Chrysler.  After that I worked on many national campaigns for Jeep, Chrysler and Plymouth.  With my extensive background in retail, I was made the Executive Producer for all non automotive clients including Coleman, Little Caesars, Detroit Tigers and Red Wings and Consumer's Energy.  As Chrysler consolidated their business I found myself working at BBDO Detroit also as an Executive Producer but on the Jeep and Chrysler Dealer Accounts.  Since leaving BBDO I have been a freelance producer working with many agencies like Leo Burnett, BBDO and Doner (again), SMZ, Brogan & Partners, DP & Company as well as working on a few movies in town.

 

I am expert at creating and capitalizing on networks, liaisons and business contacts from my extensive experience to create effective advertising and marketing campaigns.  I have excellent budget management skills with fierce negotiation capabilities and am a team builder with strong communication and management skills.  I am driven by new challenges and a desire to be successful in all endeavors. I have the innate ability to handle multiple projects and manage large teams, both internal and external.

 

I have a business mind with a creative heart.
