Nice to meet you!
If we’re going to be friends, you should know a little bit about me.
In this photo, I’m eating donut ice cream so you could say it was a good day.
I’m a millennial trying to build a life, not just a career. I’m still trying to figure out what I want to be when I grow up but I know I want it to involve helping others, making an impact on my community, and being able to disconnect most weekends.
I live in Fort Collins, CO, where I get to live near some of my favorite things: local restaurants, cute shops, and beautiful trails. I’ve worked in communications for 7 years and, besides writing, what I love most is helping people tell their stories. I am passionate about inspiring healthy work culture, which I think begins with mentoring other young professionals on how to advocate for themselves and their well-being.
I recently left my job at a small PR agency after 4 formative years to explore new opportunities, and take a much needed breath.
Fun Facts
- I’m an only child originally from Minnesota.
- I spent 11 years in Chicago before moving to Colorado.
- I was in an all-girl a cappella group in college and like to pretend we inspired Pitch Perfect. (Yes, you can find videos of me beat boxing on YouTube. No I won’t provide links.)
- In a previous life, I was the press secretary for a U.S. Senator and got to live out my dream of being C.J. Cregg.
- I cry over Subaru commercials and Vikings games (and really most things).
- Hats are my favorite accessory.
- I’ve believed in girl power as long as I’ve believed in the Spice Girls.
- I prefer my coffee iced and my whiskey neat.
- My mom is a writer and both of my grandmas were English teachers so writing is in my blood (and my brain is permanently in grammar-check mode).
- I am the proud mom of 20+ houseplants.
