My values are very community centered and I have an extensive history of community work experience. I've collected a few titles over the years including but not limited to Community Founder, Birthworker, Organizational Leader, Volunteer, & Mental Health Advocate. In addition to my time as an Administrative Assistant, I pursued a broad spectrum of marketing jobs on the side in order to find my niche. While taking an extensive course on Social Media & Marketing Communications, I gained perspective and hands on experience by helping my clients optimize their social media accounts and their business branding. By combining my desire to bring value to my community and my experience with reinventing my own personal brand, I am excited to present a new take on personal branding to my clients.
