Growing up, I was the kid who could turn any class presentation into a captivating story. This knack for captivating audiences led me to major in Communications at Ohio University.  I've always been a people person - someone who loves to listen and connect.  My family has deep roots in the public relations, marketing and newspaper press going back several generations.  I've learned almost everything I know today about project management, graphics and design from my dad.  

I have been interested in all things communication-related since the first time I touched a copy of the The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. My experiences have resulted in a diverse working background that includes knowledge of copy editing, social media, creative writing, as well as web content development and design. In addition, my Communications coursework at Ohio University has provided a solid background in theory as well as a chance to develop further media literacy skills. My assertiveness, attention to detail, and passion for print and digital media has led to the publication of several of my articles and info-graphics on multiple print/blog platforms.
