Manager, Strategic Partnerships at Nielsen
When did you join the ARF Young Pros? 2019
How has being an ARF Young Pro member impacted your career?
The ARF has been a great way for me to connect with both young professionals outside of my own organization. Through ARF YP meetups and events, I have learned from my peers and gained valuable insights into handling the challenges that we face early in our careers. Furthermore, I have learned about the broader media industry, outside of my own day-to-day, which has pushed me to think bigger in my own role at Nielsen.
What’s your favorite Young Pros event that you’ve been to?
The young pro bootcamp is a favorite event of mine! I loved spending the day getting to network with young pros all across the industry as well as hear from leaders in media, advertising, and research. I left the event with so many insights and new skills that I couldn’t wait to leverage back at work.
When researching a topic you know nothing about, how do you get started?
I lean on my network! I am so grateful to have many peers both in Nielsen and the wider industry that I can not be afraid to ask silly questions to. This is always a great way for me to learn the basics and find good resources for learning more.
What’s an example of a company/ brand that you think is doing a great job?
I am excited by Apple TV+ right now. I think that they are starting to grow their content library in a really captivating way and beginning to see some real success. I am eager to see how they will continue to broaden their reach and I can’t wait for some of their new releases, like The Shrink Next Door.
What is your favorite show/program?
Right now I am totally obsessed with Season 3 of Succession and Impeachment: American Crime Story. I also always go back to shows like Veep, 30 Rock, and Schitts Creek when I need a laugh.
