Even though they say “a jack-of-all-trades, but a master of none”, let’s not forget that “in order to be irreplaceable, one must be different”.

I think outside the box, but I work inside a cubicle. I am incapable of starting a project without finishing it, but I won't finish the crust on my bacon and tomato sandwiches. Being driven is not something I write on my resume; it is a quality that I define each and every day.

Currently, I am leading the marketing and creative services at Totten Insurance Group (TIG), as the Design & Communications Specialist. During my time at TIG, I’ve had the privilege of wearing several hats and I am consistently further developing my skills to meet the needs of the staff and executive team. From being a wordsmith, to designing effective communications materials, or even crunching numbers and balancing budgets, I completely redefine any job title I grow into because I am too intrigued to say no. All this passion leads me to having a wide array of hobbies and an eclectic collection of vinyl records.

Specialties: Setting challenging goals and surpassing them, presenting confidently in high stress environments, having a voice and being noticed in a loud room, consistently delivering “clean, corporate and creative” design, building relationships with vendors to ingrain them into a corporate culture, turning rough copy into a great read, social media, branding & identity, leadership, corporate & marketing communications, staying calm under large amounts of pressure and being someone that gets the job done when you need to hit a deadline.
