Growing up, I never quite knew what I wanted to do. Maybe it was my mild indecisiveness or that my dream of being a princess was deemed an unrealistic career choice. Eventually, I decided that I just wanted to be able to do all things. I became an overachiever, even earning the senior superlative of "Biggest Overachiever" by my classmates in my small private school that I attended for 14 years.

​

In college, I realized that I was just a genuinely curious person. (How I didn't realize this when I named my cat Curious when I was 11 years old is beyond me.) My innate curiosity toward life and goal of improving the lives of others through education led me to becoming a multimedia journalist and marketer. 

​

After graduation, I spent a year homeschooling elementary students due to the pandemic, and in October 2021, I began my career as a communications and marketing professional in the College of Behavioral and Community Sciences at the University of South Florida. Currently, I serve as a strategic communicator wearing many hats – whether it be as a writer, photographer, videographer, marketer, graphic designer, social media manager, web developer, event planner, or podcast producer.
