About Me

Born December 25, 1987 to a single mom starting college and working multiple jobs to care for my sister and me, my early years were full of unstructured time. We biked the neighborhood to drum up basketball, baseball, and street hockey games or whatever mischief could keep boredom at bay. I lived for adventure!

When I started preschool, I was behind in speech and reading. By then, my soon to be adopted dad was in our lives, and my mom and he threw everything they could at my education. They believed in my intelligence and capability and, having a midwestern work ethic and sense of responsibility, put a serious plan into action...

I began to love Hooked On Phonics, my dad reading novels to me at bedtime, and working on car model building, participating in the pinewood derby with my Boy Scouts troop, and tinkering of all kinds. With lots of prep and study, I got accepted into a science program for gifted Elementary students at Wichita State University.

Soon, my love of adventure transformed into curiosity and creativity. I loved drawing and writing. I relished my Science magazines and learning about history. I was hooked on learning and experimenting.

And eventually, my love of learning and creating, and my proficiency and comfort with both hard science and the humanities (plus a little luck) landed me in the perfect field for my range of interests, skills, and capacities: digital marketing and web design/development.

It's been a long and winding journey—one I'm happy to discuss it more over coffee or when we talk about your next big idea, project, or job to do!

Suffice it to say, I've picked up some skills when it comes to creating impactful experiences through design, copy, UX research, analytics, and mastery of a range of modern marketing tools.

These skills include...
