My role on the Digital and Integrated Marketing team at PPI Beauty allowed for me to nourish my creativity and passion for the beauty space.

My role as Marketing Coordinator in Modern Luxury’s Chicago office has been an opportunity full of unprecedented learning and growth.

Modern Luxury Chicago produces a total of 7 magazines, peppered with local and national editorial content, along with fashion and luxury content from our New York office.

I personally worked on all 7 Chicago publications. My role included managing digital marketing elements, running social media platforms, planning luxe events, working with celebrity and influencer talent, along with hiring , training and managing candidates within the Chicago-based marketing internship program. 

I efficiently communicated across all departments working closely with the following; the editorial team and VP of Social Media to streamline and create social content, the design team to create invitations and event advertisements, the sales team to work directly with clients and the production team to create in-book and digital marketing elements.

I made lasting connections and references at Modern Luxury and am happy to share those upon request. Below you can find some of my work for each of the Chicago publications.
