Creative Strategy, Brand Storytelling & Community Building

My journey has been non-traditional to say the least.

I've been a line cook, event coordinator, PR exec, copywriter, community manager, creative strategist, and a few things in between.

But every experience sharpened my insights, built my network, and developed the kind of well-rounded marketing skill set you can't fake.
