I seek to help others explore their deeper truth and be a catalyst for self discovery, worth, and potential.
I believe that everyone has much to offer the world and how we choose to do so is the key that makes all the difference.
My passion is to use my power to be at the service of those who want to follow their dreams.
I want to work with rebels who pride themselves in being against the status quo; Innovators who's ideas seem out of reach to everyone else.
I find joy in liberating the talents of others that need help being set free. I desire to hone in on my power by finding the perfect medium to elevate the voices of those who are monotone.
Finally, to unveil what society is not seeing or paying attention to.
I hope to be a catalyst for restoring confidence, creativity, and passion in others.
It took me a long time to figure it out.
My media journey began when I took 2 years of broadcasting classes in high school. From there, I received a scholarship to go to Specs Howard School of Media Arts to further pursue video and radio. At the time, I intended to dip my toes in many different content creation avenues to try to figure out what I wanted. Upon graduation, I was more educated and more confused. I spent the next two years attending community college and doing internships trying to grasp a feel for what I did and didn't like.
I'm a feeler. I just don't know until I'm doing it. I made some decisions, changed my mind, made some more decisions and figured it out. One: I could afford to go to a university. This was news to me and never felt feasible. Two: The never ending internal argument, "communications, marketing, advertising, or design?".
Then it dawned, if I can't be creative and challenge myself then what's the point? So I applied to Michigan State, got in, picked up my life and moved to East Lansing.
Fast forward to the present tense, I am the Marketing Director at the Ix Art Park Foundation, a non-profit organization in Charlottesville, Virginia that empowers community through creativity. Brought on as an Associate, my day to day varies from design, to helping artists with installations, planning and putting on festivals, and hopping from meeting to meeting. It's unpredictable and I love that. I am flexible and malleable because I believe in the mission. Art is a human right. It brings people together. It strengthens communities.
I am currently looking for my next adventure that challenges my creativity, allows me to continue learning, and helps me grow into my most authentic self. I've recently moved back to Metro-Detroit and am looking forward to what my next chapter brings!
My personality type is ENT-J : The Commander. I naturally like to take charge!
I thrive in chaos and enjoy change and spontaneity. I work better under pressure.
If my brain was a web browser, it would have 5 tabs open at all times. I've mastered the art of juggling many initiatives at once.
I have the gift of vision. After meeting with clients and gathering an understanding of their needs and desires, I often see the product in head before the pen hits paper.
I love working with people and have a need for social interaction and conversation. I believe that teamwork and collaboration often results in the best ideas.
I'm the person you meet at a party and find yourself having a deep conversation. I am motivated by passion and details.
