About Me

Glad to have you here!

Let's set the vibe: click here to listen to a playlist of some of my favorite Lo-Fi tunes as you read.

I'm a research-driven storyteller with a specialty in quantitative and qualitative research methods. I have a B.S. in Advertising from Boston University and an M.S. in Media Science & Consumer Research from Boston University (double Terrier!) I'm also a graduate of the Miami Ad School Strategic Planning Bootcamp.

My passions run rampant: I'm a big New York Sports fan and will always stand by my Mets and Jets. I love traveling to new places—or just reading Wikipedia pages of places I would love to visit. I've played every Pokémon game to completion and continue to do so with every release.

I believe everyone has hobbies and interests that make them unique. I don't think there are two people in our world who are exactly the same. Everyone has their own story.

 With thorough, empathy-focused research, I can tell these stories and uncover insights about the communities we share our world with.

Being a Jets fan is one of the wildest rides of my life. They'll always have my support, through good times and bad.

Me at Barceloneta Beach in Spain. If there's a beach anywhere I'm traveling, you better believe I'll be there.

Me on the Abbey Road crosswalk. To this day, I wish I took my shoes off so I could embrace my inner Paul McCartney.

I love doing the Immaculate Grid every day. All of those summers watching the Mets really pay off when they appear on the grid.

Me IRL every time I see dogs.


Me in front of the Boston Public Library. I lived in Boston for 5 years to get my Bachelors and Masters from Boston University — the city will always hold a special place in my heart.

As a born and raised resident, I will defend New Jersey until my last breath. It's the best state in the Northeast. If you disagree, shoot me an email and we can discuss: ntmanic@gmail.com

A view of Saint Gilgen, Austria. And me photobombing it.

Me atop the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Made it down just in time for the Opera House matinee.

Retro packaging designs displayed in the Museum of Brands in London. I can talk to you forever about how much I love it when consumer or food/beverage brands make nostalgia-based advertising.

I love playing Squirdle — a Pokémon guessing game. I'll be honest, I struggle a bit when guessing Pokémon from newer games. I grew up playing the older ones and still replay them to this day.
