Throughout my journey, I have focused on connecting with people and sharing meaningful stories, whether on stage or in the digital realm. With a background in acting and a career in digital marketing, I combine creativity, strategy, and leadership to achieve results. My passion lies in bringing ideas to life in ways that truly resonate, whether I am performing live or working behind a screen.

Growing up, my family fully embraced my creative endeavors and always supported me in pursuing my passions, whether it was acting, music, writing, or anything else that ignited my imagination. My grandparents, in particular, had a significant influence on me by instilling a strong sense of leadership and the importance of perseverance. It wasn't just about being creative; it was about being driven, thoughtful, and purposeful in everything I did. This foundation has stayed with me throughout my life.

I took my passion for theater to the College of DuPage and later to North Central College, where I gained valuable experience in acting. I fully committed to the world of acting, performing in various settings such as indie films, college theater, web series, commercials, and community theater productions. Some of my favorite venues included iconic places in Chicago like The Second City and The Annoyance Theater. Each role taught me valuable lessons about performance, creativity, and the dedication required to succeed in this competitive industry. While the experiences were incredibly rewarding, I eventually discovered a new path that allowed me to nurture my creativity and pursue my desire for growth.

But as I progressed, I found myself drawn to broader communications and strategic thinking, so I pivoted towards a different path. During my time at Purdue University, I focused on earning a Master’s in Integrative Communications and Advertising, diving deep into the world of strategic communication, marketing, and the power of storytelling.

After my time in front of the camera, I dove into digital marketing, where I combined my knack for storytelling with the strategic side of business. With over 10 years in SEO, content strategy, and team leadership, I’ve helped brands like Coca-Cola, Discover, and L’Oréal boost their online presence and achieve growth. Now, I’m focused on developing impactful digital strategies that create measurable results. Acting may have been my first love, but marketing lets me connect with people in a whole new way, telling stories through data and creativity.
