When I was a kid, my mom gave me $10 to buy my first hardcover book at B. Dalton. After much deliberation, I walked out with The Story of I Love Lucy by Bart Andrews. My love for pop culture has never faded.

I’ve had the privilege of working with incredible authors, from Isabel Allende and Kevin Costner to Portia de Rossi and Shania Twain. As VP and Director of Publicity at Atria Books, and at HarperCollins before my return as VP/Publicity Director for the HarperOne Group, I spearheaded campaigns for bestsellers like Roger Moore’s My Word is My Bond, The Dangerous Book for Boys, and Dolly Parton’s My Life and Other Unfinished Business. I even launched the Collins imprint with a MoMA party and organized HarperCollins’ legendary Book Expo bashes—from the Fox lot in LA to the Smithsonian in DC.

Beyond books, I’ve orchestrated everything from personal security details to shipping an author’s iconic wigs across the country. I’m a devoted theatre fan, a dog lover, and convinced that Frank Sinatra and Antonio Carlos Jobim are the greatest musical duo of all time.
