I light up when I'm getting creative with companies. That might mean new business opportunities, social impact and philanthropy, or thinking big about what the future might bring. Companies play a significant role in influencing consumer behavior, from what they do to how they do it, and everything in between. Whether I'm working with CSR and marketing teams to realize these opportunities, or helping a new business get established in a community they'll soon call home, I'm grateful to be a part of the adventure.About me? I have a BA in Art History and will likely never use it again professionally. I'm ok with that, because it led me to where I am today: a forever art enthusiast, business development professional, fundraiser and corporate partnerships manager for good, philanthropy strategist and program designer, kickboxing instructor, EFL teacher, and a mother/sister/daughter/friend that wants to leave this world a tiny bit better than she found it. Interested in relocating or starting up in Alexandria, Virginia? I can help, and have only amazing things to say about living in this community (and great incentives on the side). Interested in launching a social impact, employee engagement and/or philanthropy program? I can help with that, too.
