A Little [A lot]

About Me

I’m a versatile creative professional with a strong passion for design, marketing, and branding. ​Over my last 4 years in Account Management, Product Marketing, and Freelance Design ​serving both digital marketing agencies and software start-ups, I have elevated my skills in ​managing client relationships, coordinating multi-channel campaigns, and driving measurable ​results - particularly those that dictate consumer buying decisions across digital paid ads, ​responsive search copy, websites, and LinkedIn.


With a solid foundation in strategic planning and execution within marketing, I’m eager to delve ​deeper into the creative aspects of the field. I am passionate about taking a more hands-on, ​conceptual approach to marketing, seeking opportunities to innovate and contribute more ​dynamically.


I enjoy (and thrive) on creating and collaborating on visually compelling content and engaging ​narratives that capture attention and in lieu, drive engagement. I feel drawn to customizing ​brand foundations, developing unique visual identities, and rebranding existing ones to amplify ​their distinctive essence and drive monetary impact for the client.

FUN FACTS [GET TO KNOW ME]

HOW I SPARK CONVO’S

Harry Potter knowledge is my love language. I can recite films, have read the series too ​many times to count (which means Half-Blood Prince is for sure the best book & film), ​have a matching tat with my Mom & went to Harry Potter World for my 21st (I can attest ​the butterbeer buzz was from pure sugar.)

Tomato soup is my favorite food. Whether it’s homemade, canned, or from a 5-star ​restaurant. If there’s tomato soup on the menu, I’m getting it. There’s no such thing as ​soup season, it’s a year-round staple. *chefs kiss*

I love listening to birds, watching them fight on bird feeders and drink red sugar ​juice (that’s just for hummingbirds), and watching them perform at Renaissance ​festivals. But they also absolutely terrify me. Haven’t decided if it’s an irrational fear ​of mine or a level of respect I have for them - I guess it’s to be determined.

If I were to go to university again, I would major in Art History. I love learning how ​humans developed the fine arts and architecture of the world. From when it was ​first documented, to the troubles and tribulations art has challenged and forged. ​Making sure to educate this history to generations onward is valuable and shouldn’t ​be overlooked.
