As an entrepreneur, I've been able to merge my two passions of passion and written communications. My skill for styling and communicating through fashion has offered my clients the opportunity to elevate their style in a way that adequately communicates who they are. Fashion speaks before you open your mouth and I coach my clients on the best way to dress so they optimize that first impression. My experience and education has also opened doors for me to support clients as a freelance writer and editor. I have experience working across various industries and have collaborated with businesses, entrepreneurs, and students to guide them in their efforts to communicate clearly and concisely.

Initiated partnership with Franklin County Children Services to address foster teens' need for $25 gift cards during Christmas. Developed a strategic plan and mobilized a campaign that raised more than $55,000 in 4 weeks, providing every foster teen in the county with three gift cards in 2019. From 2020 to 2023, expanded this initiative statewide, ensuring 4,000+ Ohio foster teens annually received multiple gift cards for Christmas, surpassing $1.1 million total raised and distributed. For Christmas 2024, I have curated the inaugural Foster Hope Resource Fest, a program connecting teens and young adults with vital post-care resources supported by COSI, iHeart Radio, and more. In partnership with the Tim Tebow Foundation for five consecutive years, I implemented and led Night to Shine, a prom for individuals with special needs.

Through strategic digital, visual and print communication efforts, the campaign garnered nearly $7M in pledges, three months into a three year campaign.My leadership extends to the successful planning and implementation of several service projects, including the mobilization of more than 50 volunteers to build playhouses through Habitat for Humanity, as well as hundreds being served at Stowe Mission and Compassions Way.
