I earned my B.S. in Strategic Communication in 2021 from Missouri Western State University, with minors in Graphic Design and Spanish. From the beginning, I’ve been drawn to work that blends creativity with strategy, building brand identities, shaping social presence, and figuring out how ideas show up in the real world.

​

During my senior year, I served as Design Director for Griffon Media, working across the campus newspaper, yearbook, and broadcast teams. I led the creative direction for The Griffon’s 100th Anniversary Edition, which went on to win 18 national awards, including First Place Feature Photography, Second Place Overall Theme from the Missouri College Media Association, and 8th Best in Show from the Associated College Press. That experience solidified my passion for storytelling through design and taught me how to lead creatively while managing deadlines, collaboration, and big expectations.

​

While still in college, I helped a classmate build Rare Nutrition from the ground up. After graduation, I transitioned into a full-time role as Chief Marketing Officer, where I led brand identity, packaging design, social and digital marketing, trade show strategy, and outreach to dietitians and industry professionals. Working within a small startup meant wearing a lot of hats, and I loved it. With little formal structure, I learned how to anticipate needs, take ownership, and ensure the brand was represented consistently across every touchpoint.

​

Today, I’m the Digital Operations Manager at City Lifestyle, where I lead the launch and national rollout of the company’s Social Media Marketing program. I manage and report on hundreds of client and publication-level campaigns, oversee creative strategy and optimization, and build the internal frameworks and training resources that support franchise publishers nationwide. My work focuses on turning insights into action, helping teams create high-performing social campaigns that drive measurable results.

​

At every stage of my career, I’ve gravitated toward roles where I can build structure, challenge assumptions, and bring clarity to complexity. I’m energized by collaboration, motivated by performance, and always looking for smarter, more creative ways to make an impact.
