Tell us a bit about you and why you do what you do. Share your passions for your business, organization, or initiative.
I’ve worked in marketing for over 10 years–it is most rewarding to help organizations, artists, individuals, and companies reach their goals with audiences. I’ve had the honor of working with talented individuals and groups and watching them succeed in their businesses. I want to continue to be a part of efforts that support communities, health and wellness, creativity, and sustainability. I love being able to give back to the community in my spare time, so being able to align these views and beliefs in my work is rewarding. I can’t wait to share the September campaign with you all! Stay tuned.
What is the last thing you read, watched, or listened to that had an impact on you?
I watched the documentary, Hack Your Health: Secrets of Your Gut. This had a huge impact on me because, as a person living with a chronic disability, it gave me insight in how I can further take care of myself and support my gut. Even after years of doctor appointments, some of the ‘secrets’ within this documentary were unknown to me, and steps I am already taking in my personal life.
What’s the one thing people would be surprised to learn about you or your business?
My business is women owned! I also partner with a lot of female led organizations or co-leaders. This has been part of my initiatives to make sure I am working with and supporting under-resourced businesses that are doing good in their communities. It is important to me that I align myself with companies that also share the same values I hold: supporting companies and businesses doing good in the world.
