Associate Director of Performance based in Toronto. Currently developing client strategies at Other.
How I Can Help
I've spent the last several years as the day-to-day partner clients rely on for their paid media performance — running Google Ads and Meta campaigns, building reporting that actually gets read, and turning platform changes into clear, confident client conversations rather than confusing technical updates.
Beyond the reporting, I consistently support clients with tailored, data-backed recommendations designed to drive both brand and performance outcomes, not just short-term metrics. I know what it's like to sit across from a client, translate complex data into a simple growth story, and hold that relationship steady even when goals or algorithms shift underneath us. That consistency, paired with proven results, is what builds real trust over time; clients come to rely on my judgment because they've seen it pay off.
That's the muscle I'd bring to this role: strategic account management backed by real platform fluency, genuine client rapport, and a growing comfort using AI to work faster and smarter.
