About Me
Hello and welcome to my personal site!
​
Since graduating from Indiana University, Bloomington with a BA in Telecommunications, I have held communication, media production, and marketing roles in the education, automotive, entertainment, and public relations sectors. Those roles were mainly in Indiana and California. After spending 7 wonderful years in Los Angeles, I am back in my hometown---Indianapolis.
I have a proven track record of effectively managing digital assets, maintaining online platforms, and coordinating with clients, cross-functional teams, and other stakeholders. ​My current aim is to find a full-time role in media, corporate communications and AV, or marketing.
​
Outside of work, my interests include reading, going to the movies, and playing boardgames and videogames. I also enjoy attending concerts, museum exhibits, and other cultural events.
​
Take a look around, and if you like what you see, feel free to contact me. Thanks for stopping by!
