About

A marketing and business student who turns research and ideas into clear materials teams can use.

Most recently, I spent a summer with WPP Media's Growth (New Business) team in New York, supporting new business pitches through presentation setup, rehearsal observation, competitor research, team briefs, and reusable resources. I also built an AI-assisted newsletter tool and presented a capstone that explained the pitch process from initial research through the final presentation.

I enjoy bringing structure to creative work. That has meant planning content, organizing SEO information, writing website copy, creating design assets, supporting production, and handling the details that keep a project moving.

At Bambuddha Group and Bambuddha Studios in Sydney, I worked across strategy, website support, proposal materials, pricing analysis, social scheduling, and digital planning. A big part of that experience was learning how to adapt messaging to an Australian audience while staying true to a purpose-driven brand. At Bryant Glass + Shower Doors, I paired social content with the reliability of day-to-day customer and billing support. On campus, leadership in Sigma Chi and on the University of Rochester track team has sharpened how I communicate, motivate, and follow through.

The through-line in all of it is simple: I like work that helps ideas become organized, visible, and useful to the people they are meant to reach.

Case Studies

A closer look at how I supported growth teams, approached each assignment, and made the output useful.

New Business Pitch Presentations | WPP Media Growth

New business teams needed each presentation space to support the strategic story and feel tailored to the opportunity without exposing confidential client details.

Designed and set up presentation environments for multiple opportunities, including a large direct-to-consumer retailer and a large food delivery service. I also observed rehearsals to see how strategy, storytelling, speaker transitions, and presentation details were refined before the room went live.

The work showed me how much a strong pitch depends on the full presentation experience. Strategy has to be clear, but the room, pacing, preparation, and delivery all help make that strategy memorable.

Client & Competitor Research | WPP Media Growth

Pitch and account teams needed quick, reliable information about the people they would meet, the market, competitors, and current news before important conversations.

Built concise executive and client bios, compiled daily news alerts, conducted competitor analyses, and researched prospective accounts across categories. I organized the most useful details into clear briefs that teams could review quickly.

Better preparation gave teams a clearer view of each business, its leadership, and its competitors. The research helped teams ask better questions and shape stronger pitches.

Internal Tools & Knowledge Sharing | WPP Media Growth

Useful news, case studies, and pitch knowledge were stored in different places. Teams needed quicker ways to find relevant information and reuse strong past work.

Built an AI-assisted newsletter tool from scratch to automate a recurring internal news digest and standardized case study decks for a firm-wide portal. I then brought the summer's lessons together in a capstone that explained the pitch process from initial research through final presentation.

These tools saved time, made past work easier to retrieve, and showed how research, strategy, preparation, and delivery connect throughout a pitch.

Digital Campaign Calendar | Bambuddha Group

The brand needed a more organized rhythm for telling its story across podcast, newsletter, events, and social channels without losing the purpose-driven core of the business or missing culture-specific moments.

Worked with the CEO and creative team to map key themes, moments, and publishing opportunities into a year-long campaign structure, researching relevant Australian dates and adapting tone for a more casual, local audience.

The result was a more deliberate content flow that helped connect brand storytelling with real business goals instead of treating channels as separate one-off tasks.

SEO Overhaul | Bambuddha Studios

Existing pages needed more structure, clearer positioning, and stronger metadata to help users and search engines understand the studio's offerings.

Audited existing pages, created a full website wireframe, listed out every webpage, and wrote metadata and keyword sets for more than 100 pages with an emphasis on clarity, relevance, and navigation.

This created a stronger base for organic visibility and made the website easier to browse for clients, listeners, and anyone trying to understand the studio's services.

Creative Design Suite | Marketing Assets

Creative work needed to stay on-brand while still moving fast enough to support changing briefs, internal presentations, studio offers, and outward-facing content.

Designed Canva assets including thumbnails, social tiles, email graphics, and internal decks for campaigns and pitches, while also writing blog content and building a product-and-services menu for the studio.

Stronger creative support made ideas easier to present, easier to share, and more polished in both internal and public-facing settings, especially as the team moved from planning into scheduled execution.

Local Brand Growth | Bryant Glass + Shower Doors

Small businesses often need marketing support that is practical, consistent, and tied closely to real-world customer operations.

Created social content for Instagram, TikTok, and X while also managing invoicing support and customer communication that helped keep the business organized and responsive.

That mix of visibility and reliability reinforced trust with repeat customers and kept the brand active in the local community.
