Being brave.

I believe in the simplicity of being honest, kind, and optimistic. I also have an unrivaled fondness for Cheerios and giggling. This might sound odd to lead with, but if you knew me, are getting to know me, it makes perfect sense. I have an innate need to make people smile. I often think Human Resources and Community Outreach can be seen as the masked operations teams that do the dirty work within a company. I want to bring the smile back to what these departments do at their core; find, develop, fine-tune, and share the strengths in others.

Previously focused on the account side of advertising and public relations, I love to investigate the "why," to understand how individuals and companies tick. With time I discovered, though the marketing aspect of agency life is still an interest, I was more invested in the people I work with, work for. My love for philanthropic work and community engagement was born.

I love being outside, whatever the context. I am an aspiring beer connoisseur and current whisk(e)y drinker. I am a lover of listening. To stories, to music. Some of you may think this piece is a wee bit too floral for a LinkedIn profile, well, I consider myself a poet on my off days. Feel free to sneak a peek and tell me your thoughts and reactions. Witty jokes are also welcome.
