Rhea who?
(rhea:RAY-UH)
I am all heART ︎ passionate about storytelling and helping our clients come to life with visionary craft. As a leader, I infuse my background as an educator to lead from a place of curiosity, patience, enthusiasm. Collaborating together to output strategic groundbreaking creative work. Having 20 years experience working at incredible advertising agencies in North America and Europe has given me deeper connection to people and culture. I am currently a Creative Director at Merkley + Partners in New York where lead and develop creative on Novartis and AstraZeneca.
My proudest accomplishments came from working on the briefs no one else wanted to touch. Making something great under the radar. In my after work hours I was a long-standing teacher at the Miami Ad School in Europe and North America where I grew and developed talent. I am passionate about health and wellness, merging science and creativity to better the lives of people.
I live in Long Island City with my soon to be husband and three pets. When I am not working, I am being a gym rat lifting weights, running, or taking a spin class.︎
