MY BIO
My career began in editorial after receiving my bachelor’s degree in English. After graduating, I was the editor-in-chief of a magazine publishing company in the Midwest, distributing 20+ publications a year ranging from lifestyle to business to academics. It was during this time, managing a team of writers and photographers, that I developed strong project management skills and honed my writing and editing.

MAKING THE MOVE TO MARKETING AND BRANDING
After some time in editorial, I transitioned to the streetwear and fashion industry, living in Los Angeles and afterward New York City. While in the fashion industry, I worked for Undefeated, Supreme, Kith, and The Society Management in marketing, brand partnership, and talent management positions. During this time, I had the opportunity to travel the world and collaborate with an impressive list of celebrities and brands, including Kendall Jenner, Lebron James, American Express, Disney, Versace, Nike, Adidas, and Coca-Cola. My career in fashion and brand marketing developed a passion for reaching target audiences through engaging, relevant content.
CALL TO PSYCHOLOGY AND HIGHER EDUCATION
While I enjoyed my time working with big brands, my interest in mental health and love of learning drew me to graduate school, where I received a master’s in psychology from Harvard University, Division of Continuing Education. My area of focus during graduate studies was learning and developmental theory. During this time, I also worked in a mental health facility in the adolescent residential unit and participated in research labs through Purdue University.
NOW I’M A LEARNING AND DEVELOPMENT CONSULTING
After graduating on the Dean’s List, I launched my independent business consulting companies, HR professionals, and EdTech platforms on learning and development strategies. I also offer freelance instructional design, copyediting, and writing services. I have thoroughly enjoyed channeling my love of learning and applying my L&D knowledge to client projects while also utilizing my editorial and marketing background. This cohesive approach makes for engaging content and successful learning outcomes for my clients and learners.
