Welcome!

MARKETING: I am a Summa Cum Laude graduate with a B.S. in Marketing and 7+ years of professional experience in the field. I have a range of capabilities including event coordination; strategic campaign planning and execution; content creation, especially in blogging, social media, and emails; and much more. I also have a background in production/operations and project management so I am able to juggle multiple assignments and prioritize. I also have the ability to be both creative and detail-oriented and I am a true problem solver who likes a new challenge. I present myself as a leader who strives for top quality in all that I do. For a couple years, I worked with a DC-based marketing agency where I strategized, developed, and executed marketing plans/campaigns for major initiatives, and managed all of the public-facing email and social media communications for a government client. This gave me exposure into learning how to push myself creatively and strategically despite any restrictions or pushback received. Currently, I work at another local agency based in Rockville MD where I am dedicated to supporting all marketing efforts for one of our biggest clients.

DESIGN: I've had a "passion for fashion" for as long as I can remember, but never took it seriously until I realized that I have such a strong influence. Peers, colleagues, and even complete strangers have approached me with affirming feedback and styling requests that have inspired me to create my own clothing line. It's been a daunting process, but makes it all the more rewarding when I'm finally able to launch!

PERSONAL: I love music and I'm a Tim Burton fanatic. I could probably eat tacos everyday, and I like to dance like no one is watching, even if they are. Playing Guitar Hero is one my best stress relievers - it's quite addicting! And I own a teacup Yorkie named Peso -- dog's truly are man's best friend.
