I've spent the last five years managing and growing the brand of a women-owned, award-winning independent publisher of 1500 authors, including those published by the Big 5. As a company that started from the ground up, I’ve embodied their motto of customer satisfaction being the number one priority. It’s incredibly important to me as I further my career to continue seeking out professionals and companies with that same level of integrity and passion for making their audience feel seen.I've spoken at events such as the Pacific Northwest Writer's Conference and the Chicago Writers Conference and collaborated with creative professionals from various fields, including a Bravo TV star, an Emmy-nominated producer, the former National Security Advisor to the President, and the attorney of a notorious serial killer. In addition, I've sat in on meetings with agents shopping around for titles to present to Lifetime and Netflix and representatives for book distribution platforms such as Hoopla and Overdrive.Outside of work, I enjoy traveling, fostering rescue animals, and watching movies, especially those featuring the iconic Sylvester Stallone.Conference Presentations:Tuscany Write-In by Insiders Tours in Pisa, Italy 2024Cre8tive Con in Arlington Heights, IL 2024Ozark Creative Writers Conference in Eureka Springs, AR 2023The Chicago Writers Association in Chicago, IL 2023PNWA Writers Conference in Seattle, WA 2022 & 2023Ireland Writer Tours in Galway, Ireland 2022Write-In Santorini by Insiders Tours in Santorini, Greece 2021
