Digital marketing communications professional always looking to learn more!

I am a marketer in Chicago. I fell in love with marketing in high school, and have been infatuated with it ever since.

Why do I love marketing?

Marketing is that first cup of coffee you pour as the sun breaks through your blinds. Marketing is that chill you get when you see something on YouTube that touches your emotions. Marketing is the way you interact with people on the other side of the world that you'll probably never meet in person. Marketing is engaging. Marketing is conversation. Marketing is life changing.

My life was changed with marketing, and I want to make sure I can help others feel that way, too. With my passion for marketing, advertising, and everything in between, I'm working hard to make that goal happen.
