Creating integrated marketing and communication strategies to demonstrate a mutually beneficial relationship between our customers and our company.

My Passion:
I aim to do everything with passion! Among them, though, I love international travel, photography, fitness, and learning anything I can.

My Family:
Aaron (my husband), Aiden (my giant dog), Colby (my little dog), and Midge (my cat – who is both the smallest and the one in charge).

My Hero or Heroes:
My dad for his relentless pursuit of knowledge and self-awareness, and for showing me the perspective that spending time in nature can bring to one’s life.

My Escape:
Getting lost in the woods or a new city with my camera. There’s no better way for me to recharge than through an adventure.

My Pet Peeve:

My advice to Young Women:
Don’t let a silly thing like “qualifications” get in the way of your goals. Drive and perseverance are great substitutes.

How I Balance it All:
A little planning on the front end of everything – I always have a plan, even when my only option is to be flexible and just go with it.
