The Narrative
“I thrive in the intersectionality of contrasting ideas. I’ve always had a passion for storytelling, but my Virgo brain loves a good organization project. I do my best work when I can tap into both, so working across multiple disciplines within the marketing and advertising worlds is my happy place.”
I’m what you call a digital nomad. I have no fixed location, and I serve as a freelance contractor with award winning agencies, bad-ass business babes, and change-makers.
I’ve always had a passion and knack for storytelling, organization, project management, creative problem solving, and helping others realize and reach their fullest selves - personally and professionally. Variety is a necessity for me, and the ability to work with people across different industries and walks of life is an absolute dream come true.
Additionally, I am a member of the 2023 Deaf World Cup Champions United States Women's National Deaf Soccer team. As a result of my experiences with the team, I was inspired to start a passion project, Deaf, Tattooed, and Employed. This personal project has led to a contributing role with hearinglikeme.com (Phonak) and Envoy Medical.
As someone with a ‘disability’ who has faced challenges in the workforce, I’m determined to empower others to lean into their ‘disabilities’ as their biggest strength and encourage employers to utilize these strengths in the best way possible. It’s time to go beyond filling a checkbox!
I'm always looking for ways to challenge myself professionally, and my ultimate goal is to bring passion and joy to the community around me through creative and leadership processes.
