After taking Consumer Psychology at Duke during his Junior year, I knew I wanted to work in Marketing. I kicked off my career working in PR with a summer internship at Derris in New York on brands including Warby Parker, Siggi's Yogurt, and Everlane. During the fall of my Senior year, I interned at McKinney in Durham in a Media role. After graduation in 2015, I entered into a rotational program called the Associates Program at Ogilvy in New York. Following a year in the program, I started my permanent placement at Ogilvy in Customer Engagement working in advertising strategy and customer insights for brands such as British Airways, Citizens Bank, and Showtime. In 2019, I started my MBA at The Wharton School, interning at Amazon in Marketing as part of the Retail Leadership Development Program between my first and second year. I relocated to Seattle and joined Amazon full-time in 2021 after graduating from Wharton in a hybrid role across both Marketing and Program Management in Consumables.
