Favorite part is constantly being challenged to partner with new clients to solve their business problems. Everyday is different. We are pushed to become knowledgeable in almost every category. Depending on where you work, most biz dev teams operate like a start up within a company truly giving you exposure to every part of the business + creative process. The adrenaline of being on the front lines is what hooked me. You either love it or you hate it. Long hours / late nights is just the price you pay to working with some of the most brilliant and beautiful minds in our industry.

My favorite part is turning a no into a big YES.

Winning, and knowing I’m securing the future for the agency.
