Senior Account Coordinator
Agency H5
Chicago, IL

With a passion for strategic and creative marketing and communications, I currently serve as a Senior Account Coordinator at Agency H5, a full spectrum marketing and PR agency. With my amazing team, we support and create meaningful moments, leveraging media relations, influencer activations, social and digital campaigns to support key brand strategies across various accounts.

Before I joined the H5 team, I worked as a brand strategist for Purdue University Marketing and Communications and Boiler Ambassadors, as well as supporting brands in the food and agriculture spaces.

With a background of growing up on a row crop and livestock farm raising sheep and cattle, I have an incredible appreciation for hard work, adaptability, problem solving and teamwork. I believe in staying curious and always being grounded in truth, especially when developing new activations, to create the strongest results.

While on campus, I was involved in Purdue Old Masters, Purdue Student Government, Purdue National Agir-Marketing Association and various other organizations. I also worked for the College of Agriculture as a Diversity, Equity and Inclusion facilitator.

As a self-classified “forever learner,” I love looking for new information, data and insights to further my knowledge and drive strategies that deliver results. I am a proud second-generation Boilermaker and received my Bachelor of Arts in Public Relations and Strategic Communications from Purdue University.

As a Chicago resident, you can find me spending time in my community, at the local farmer’s market, getting a lift in at the gym, or grabbing a bite to eat with friends!

I am so excited to be returning to Purdue to speak to SCLA 300 about life post-grad, finding jobs, marketing yourself to employers and building your personal and professional brand.
