Hi! Welcome to my page. I appreciate you taking the time to visit and to read a bit about me!
I earned a BA in Public Affairs Journalism from Ohio State in 2007. After college, I immediately jumped into marketing/promotions having had several promotions internships at OSU (Sports Illustrated, Paramount Pictures, and Good Morning America). Then in 2010 I paused my career to backpack around the world for 10 months. It was a life-changing experience that shaped me into the person I am today.
Returning to the US, I got a job as an account executive position at, for lack of a better description, a junk mail company. It was soul-sucking, especially after returning from a trip where I saw the real problems of the world. So I switched careers to become an English as a Second Language teacher, earning my MEd from Lesley University in 2013. I taught for 7 years, both in Massachusetts and Ohio. It was an incredibly rewarding, exhausting job, and I am extremely grateful for my time in education. If there is massive education reform in the U.S., I may return to the field some day.
After having my son in 2019, I left teaching and helped my friend Lindsey Hoell launch Dispatch Goods, a sustainability company that works with grocery and meal delivery businesses to help them reuse their packaging. Lindsey often referred to me as the "Swiss Army knife" of the company, floating from position to position as was needed at a company at such an early stage. In my time there I worked as an administrative assistant, a social media manager, a UX researcher, a dishwasher, and an East Coast Manager. Again, an invaluable experience for me, but as the company grew, so did my responsibilities, and so did the time away from my children. I left Dispatch in March 2023, but I returned to a (very) part-time PR role in October 2023.
Since leaving Dispatch, I have concentrated on my family and also dabbled in some freelance writing. I have come to find that I really enjoy the process. Writing is an art -- and if I have learned anything this past year, it is that I am artist. Whether it is creating a lesson plan, or a promotional event, or an article, or even a business, I flourish when I am creating.
