About

I'm an editorial executive with more than 15 years of experience across the U.S. and Asia, spanning breaking news, digital video, editorial product strategy and growth. As Director of Content and Audience Development on LinkedIn’s Emmy-nominated Editorial Productions team, I lead development of original video and podcast content. I also manage our growth and audience engagement efforts, in addition to content sponsorships. Since joining LinkedIn, I've helped Editorial become a growth engine, with direct impact on business outcomes and platform engagement. I've partnered with product leaders to drive improvements around editorial tooling and distribution, including AI-powered notifications; I've built and overseen editorial strategies around education, students and other key audiences; created and produced original content series and newsletters; and worked with influential names and experts across multiple industries. I have a Master's degree in Journalism from Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism at CUNY and multiple certifications in business strategy and problem solving from McKinsey & Company.
