About Me

I’m a 27-year-old Austinite who loves to both read and write. In what little spare time I have, you can usually find me buried in a book or paying the equivalence of someone’s salary at Barnes and Nobles purchasing more. I love coffee, dancing and ballet, flying and secretly would give anything to author a book one day.

I’m currently finishing my business degree in HR Management and working on obtaining certificates in business etiquette and training, coaching and development. My goal from there will be to start up my own Business Etiquette Consulting business here in Austin for new college graduates, to provide them with the necessary tools to transition into the corporate world.
