Storytelling is in my DNA—passed down from my grandfather’s tales around the kitchen table, my father’s magnetic presence, and my mother’s fearless spontaneity. I’ve channeled that legacy into a career that blends creativity, strategy, and heart.
I began my college education studying Art Therapy, honing my eye for visual storytelling through drawing, photography, and painting. Along the way, I worked in shelters, painted with centenarians, and discovered that meaningful stories are everywhere—if you listen.
From there, I built a career grounded in purpose. At the Y.W.C.A., I mentored child care providers and managed a database of 2,300+ stakeholders, sharpening my skills in public speaking, collaboration, and community outreach. I later pivoted into finance at Herff Jones, mastering data, workflows, and problem-solving—proof thatcuriosity and hustle can outpace a resume.
Now with a BS in Marketing (Social Media concentration) and a toolkit full of digital certifications, I bring the perfect balance of creative intuition and analytical rigor. I’m a marketer who listens like a therapist, thinks like a strategist, and tells stories that stick.
