With more than a decade of experience building integrated digital marketing and PR strategies across industries, I bring a wealth of experience and expertise to my work. My approach is warm and dedicated to helping clients to hone their authentic voice, tell their story, and build their business.

I love to write—I am working on my first novel—and I am also a poet and essayist for my substack, not a masterpiece. I love to travel—I was an au pair in Paris for a year after I graduated from college. Sheila Heti and Melissa Broder are my favorite fiction writers for their exploration of humor and mysticism.

I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Communications & Public Relations from Michigan State University, a certificate in digital marketing from Columbia Business School, and additional training in graphic design from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
