Florida-based. California raised. Texas taught.

I grew up in a small country town in Northern California. Since I was homeschooled for most of my adolescent years, my social life was made up of sports and talking to barn animals. But I was craved a “big city” adventure. So, naturally, I fled to Los Angeles to pursue a dance career.

Although I never made it on stage with Beyonce, LA fueled the creativity and scrappiness I needed to become resilient, challenge the norm, and adapt to any environment.

My career as a copywriter launched with a content marketing internship out of Dallas, Texas. From there, I continued to take on roles that fine-tuned my innate ability to capture an audience.

Today, I’m a Content Manager leading experience quality and operations for AI-powered experiences.

What I love most about this industry is the ability to use my diverse skill set to empathize with users and create a better experience for them.
