Growing up as a first-generation daughter of Trinidadian parents, I was surrounded by women who showed me that style, music, and storytelling weren't just cultural touchstones. They were languages. Ways of moving through the world. That early lesson about how identity and influence intersect has never really left me.

​

I started with an assistant stylist role, my first real entry into pop culture and my first chance to work directly with talent, translating personal narratives into something visual. That job cracked open a door I never stopped walking through. From there, my path through Rain Management, Digital Brand Architects, and NEXT Management looked different at each stop — executive assistant, brand partnerships manager, agent — but it was always about talent. Each role gave me a different way of seeing talent, and together they shaped how I think about representation, partnerships, and what it actually means to champion underrepresented voices across entertainment and endorsements.

​

Advertising agencies were never part of the plan, but they became one of the most formative chapters of my career. At R/GA, United Entertainment Group, and 72andSunny, I worked on talent partnerships for brands like American Express, Nike, Levi's, Marriott, and Estée Lauder, and I brought something most people in those rooms didn't have: a real firsthand understanding of how talent thinks and what they actually care about. That changed how I approached every deal. Less transactional, more intentional. I cared about building partnerships that were sustainable and scalable, built for something beyond just the campaign.

​

Along the way, the work expanded into social and digital strategy. I helped shape the launches of Caste and Deacon King Kong through Oprah's Book Club, creating space for real reflection and community. Then during the pandemic, I joined Partners In Health and launched their first-ever celebrity program, working with Padma Lakshmi, Rosario Dawson, and Winston Duke to use influence as a genuine tool for health equity. That chapter holds a special place for me. It showed me more clearly than anything what the right voices can actually do.

​

In my current role as Director of Talent Partnerships at Vox Media, I lead casting across branded content and experiential work, connecting brands with talent at every level of notoriety, reach, and influence. Recently that's included Jackie Aina, Hannah Berner, Spike Lee, Owen Han, Trey Kennedy, and Carl Radke, alongside culturally sharp emerging voices like The Yusufs, Roze Traore, Jordan Studdard, Amber Singletary, and Emira D'Spain. This work has introduced me to some of the most interesting people I've ever met. And I'm still learning, still discovering, and genuinely excited by getting the booking right.
