Since I was a kid, all I’ve ever wanted to do is create things. It started with my own imaginary world, where paper castles were inhabited by paper dolls, dressed to the nines in paper clothing.

Then, I discovered my knack for writing, and learned how to create other worlds in different mediums. At the age of 12, I taught myself to play guitar and wrote my first song. In high school drama and film classes, I always volunteered to write the script.

Later, I took to visual storytelling, and now handle graphic design, visual content creation, and photo styling as the Marketing & Creative Assistant for Uncorked Media, which produces the James Beard award-winning podcast, The Four Top, and books by wine expert Katherine Cole, including the newly released Sparkling Wine Anytime.

​

As Social Media Specialist for Portland Backpack, I help elevate the nonprofit organization's mission by designing engaging and on-brand visual content for social media channels, marketing collateral, and ad campaigns.

It makes sense that I ended up a Communications major. Effective communication is at the core of all of my passions, and I am happiest when I can use my creativity to solve problems and connect with people.

With deep empathy and a keen eye for design and detail, my favorite part of any creative project is figuring out how to deliver a message in a manner that helps others see the subject as it desires or deserves to be seen. 

This is why I enjoy doing freelance branding, web design, graphic design, and copywriting in my free time and am pursuing a career in Advertising.

If you want help bringing that world you have in mind to life, I’m your gal.
