"Charismatic, Creative, and Courageous."
Three words that are consistently used to describe me by my friends, coworkers, and teammates. Read a little more about me below!
Outside of school, I work as a group exercise instructor and communications manager, where I get to give back to my community. I combine this love for fitness with my social media expertise by running my own fitness account to share my passion and connect with others.
​
In my portfolio, you’ll see several of my projects are group-based, not only do I believe in the power of a collaborative environment, I thrive in it. I do my best work with others and enjoy bouncing ideas off fellow creatives to push boundaries in copywriting and design.
​
You'll also find a blend of my passion for storytelling, my dedication to quality design, and my overall love for the creative space. I believe everything we create is a piece of who we are, therefore my ultimate goal with every project is to create a lasting impact that drives positive change and inspires.
