About me
In the summer of 2018 I took a chance on life, quit my bartending and landscaping jobs, and went on a summer-long-solo-cross-country road trip from Vermont to SoCal and everywhere in-between. I started a blog to document my experience, got into photography, grew an Instagram account and made a life changing discovery - marketing.
I’ve always been a creative person. I was going to go to art school until I was interrupted by music, so I did that instead. I always knew there was a way I could use all of my passionate creativity in a way that was impactful. Brand marketing has been that path for me.
My work
After my road trip, I got hyper-focused on learning everything I could about being a marketer. I freelanced social media management, took internships, went back to school for graphic design, and worked my way to my first full time marketing role, eventually taking a position as a Senior Manager.
I’ve been fortunate to work across multiple industries with businesses large and small, stretching my creative muscles as a designer, photographer, copywriter, and strategist all along the way.
