Without a doubt, convergence is my favorite word. As an idea junkie and a mixed bag of skills, there's nothing I enjoy more than playing the role of a "bridge" -- bringing great ideas, resources and communities together to interact with and advance one another.

As a creative, I've played a variety of parts along my career path -- graphic designer, social media manager, brand strategist, photographer, web designer, and marketing consultant -- enjoying them all. In everything I've created or assisted in its creation (like this or this or this), a consistent, effective and daringly honest presentation of the brand has always been my primary goal.

Currently, I am a Communications Specialist at American Red Cross Greater St. Louis Region - managing our online presence, digitally interacting with our 72-county community, sharing our Mission and serving as the primary brand & marketing lead for our four community chapters.

Also, about four years ago, Firstfruits Creative LLC was born, to provide innovative creative solutions for Christian and community organizations. Thankfully through this venture, I've been able to collaborate with over 30 awesome clients, producing work that is a reflection of their org's vision.

Away from the office, I spend Monday nights rehearsing as one of the first sopranos in the St. Louis Symphony's IN UNISON Chorus and Sunday mornings teaching children's Sunday School class. The rest of my week involves catching up with family, friends, and peers from organizations like FOCUS St. Louis and St. Louis Arts Project.
