We are privileged to have her on our team."

She brings a depth of media, digital and production experience to her role. Prior to joining SCI FI, she served as Director of Marketing for Bravo, where she was responsible for the development of British Airways' integrated partnership of Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, which earned Mediaweek's Media Plan of the Year; Macy's sponsorship of Project Runway and Sears' sponsorship of Top Chef.
