I would label myself as a go-getter. I have a strong passion for visual arts and digital media which is reflected in my area of interest: Marketing. Throughout my life I have sought out any and all opportunities to practice and apply my digital media skills. I love meeting new people, learning new skills, and stepping out of my comfort zone. Confidence and communication are two of my greatest skills which I have developed through years of performing in musicals, a cappella groups, and solo open mic nights. I hope to continue to learn and grow in the marketing world by seizing any and all opportunities that come my way.

I bring a unique and highly defined skill set to the table that straddles the line between creative and analytical. I feel most in my element when pitching new content ideas, writing a script for branded productions, or creating in-depth audience personas.

Exploring the intersection of productivity and inclusivity, I encourage leaders to create spaces and cultures that invite the richest contributions from everyone. For too long, we have been squandering talent, giving people the false choice of opting out or burning out. With greater care as leaders to build psychologically, physiologically, and neurologically safe spaces, we can invite people to ask for what they need to perform at their best. After all, productivity is personal. We need to make room for differences in the way we get things done. It's not just up to leadership. Individuals must be self-aware, design a productive and fulfilling life, and protect their boundaries to be able to sustain performance. Together, we can achieve great things.
