When did you start working at Weber Shandwick?
I began my journey at Weber Shandwick London as an intern on July 4th 2023. Although I’m not American, I found it funny to consider this my very own independence day.
In five words or less, how would you describe your Weber Shandwick colleagues?
Full of inspiration.
What’s your favorite thing about London?
It’s ability to host some of the best musicians, artists and underground music scenes the world has ever seen. There’s always something to hear or talent that’s emerging.
What’s the coolest (or weirdest) place a project has taken you?
One of the coolest places a project has taken me to is a community centre in Hackney. It was the early stages of my internship where I was able to get involved in a Shelter X IKEA project where a whole community centre for underprivileged kids was being revamped to create a new space for them to connect, inspire, and unwind. This was one of the first times where I saw the possibilities to come with Weber.
What’s the best thing you’ve ever seen happen inside the Weber Shandwick offices?
The arrival of the Dominos driver for the summer party. (My order is a Hawaiian pizza.)
If there were a Weber Shandwick yearbook, what would your superlative be?
As a proud father of a 2-year-old mullet, I’d love Best Hair. Is that a thing? Can we do that? We’re doing it.
If you weren’t working in this industry, what would you want to do?
It’s a close tie between acting or a detective…I guess there are transferable skills?
What’s the best piece of career advice you’ve ever gotten?
Pay attention to the details. They can be the deciding factor as to whether an idea or visual wins or loses a pitch.
Who is someone that inspires you right now?
Jinx Monsoon – haven’t heard of them? Do Google or even search on TikTok. They’re an incredibly talented drag queen who hosts some of the most forward-thinking voices in culture. They prove that you don’t have to be known for doing just one thing, and that you can achieve dreams if you really do go for it!
What’s your favorite way to unwind in your free time?
Other than endlessly streaming Ru Paul’s Drag Race, I’m a big lover of nature and trying to escape the city wherever I can. I love this concrete jungle I’ve known all my life, but I feel it’s important we still connect with nature and the environment. I’ll always be on the hunt for wildlife and plant life in hopes to snap a good picture, too.
