I've spent my career at the intersection of talent, culture, and brand strategy, work shaped early by growing up in a first-generation Trinidadian household, where style, music, and storytelling were never just cultural touchstones but ways of communicating identity and influence.

​

I began as an assistant stylist, my first direct exposure to talent and the mechanics of translating personal narrative into brand-ready storytelling. From there, my path through Rain Management, Digital Brand Architects, and NEXT Management spanned executive assistant, brand partnerships manager, and agent roles, each one sharpening how I think about representation, partnership structure, and championing underrepresented voices across entertainment and endorsements.

​

Advertising became an unplanned but formative chapter. At R/GA, United Entertainment Group, and 72andSunny, I led talent partnerships for brands including American Express, Nike, Levi's, Marriott, and Estée Lauder, bringing a talent-side fluency that most agency teams lacked. That perspective shifted how I approached every deal: less transactional, more built for longevity and scale beyond a single campaign.

​

My focus expanded into social and digital strategy from there. I helped shape the launches of Caste and Deacon King Kong for Oprah's Book Club, and during the pandemic, I built and launched Partners In Health's first celebrity program, partnering with Padma Lakshmi, Rosario Dawson, and Winston Duke to put influence to work for health equity. That program remains one of the clearest examples I've seen of what the right partnerships can accomplish.

​

Today, as Director of Talent Partnerships & Influencer Strategy at Vox Media, I lead casting across branded content and experiential work, connecting brands with talent and influencers across every level of reach and cultural relevance, from Jackie Aina, Hannah Berner, Spike Lee, and Owen Han to rising voices like The Yusufs, Roze Traore, and Emira D'Spain. Across every stage of this career, the throughline has been the same: identifying the right voice for the right moment, and building partnerships built to last.
