What I’ve done and what I do:
With over 10 years of experience in public relations and marketing, I've built my career on one fundamental principle: adaptability. The world is constantly changing, especially in the field of public relations and marketing, and I've learned that the most successful campaigns and strategies are those that can evolve with the times. This mindset has guided me through every project, client relationship and industry shift I've encountered throughout my career.

Originally from Iowa, I made the move to the Kansas City Metro in 2018, bringing with me the values of hard work and genuine connection that come from growing up in a large, close-knit family. With 23 aunts and uncles and more than 40 cousins, I quickly learned how to navigate a wide range of personalities and viewpoints. It taught me how to connect with all kinds of people — something that’s been incredibly helpful when crafting messages that really land with different audiences

When I'm not developing PR strategies or marketing campaigns, you'll find me enjoying life's simple pleasures. I love getting together with old friends, cruising around on family road trips and exploring new international destinations. My evenings might be spent competing at music bingo, binge-watching the latest Netflix series or rescuing stray kittens.
