At MLB, she has been instrumental in shaping the league's digital advertising strategy, overseeing monetization efforts across MLB's owned-and-operated digital properties and helping to grow revenue through data-driven advertising solutions and brand partnerships. Her work reflects a broader industry trend of major sports properties investing heavily in first-party data and direct advertiser relationships as the ecosystem shifts away from third-party cookies.

Her background spans both the publisher and platform sides of the industry, giving her a nuanced understanding of how brands, agencies, and media companies interact within the programmatic ecosystem.

Her work at MLB positions the league to compete more effectively for brand advertising budgets in an increasingly fragmented media landscape.
