About Me

What I Do

I connect people.

By trade, that means I’ve connected consumers to brands, readers to content, and people to ideas. I’ve purchased online media for multi-million dollar brands as well as direct-response marketers. I also work with websites and individuals to help strategize a social media presence, and connect people to people when I identify how one person’s needs can be met by another’s skills.

Beyond that? I am 20-something social media obsessor, aspiring yogi, amateur jet-setter, and lover of all things people. I’m a Social Media Consultant on a number of awesome projects, am addicted to weekend getaways in the name of meeting inspiring and interesting new friends, finding great bars and restaurants, and exploring new places.

I’m making it my mission to be on-the-move and am finding myself pretty damn close.

What I’m Like

I’m 20-something explorer. Connector. Word geek.

I talk too fast (and often too much), car-dance like it’s my job, am a little restless and spontaneous, would wear flip-flops all year round if I could, and think chocolate-covered pretzels are God’s gift to humans.

I believe in champagne with breakfast, choose yoga as my personal form of herapy, and live by the belief that people and relationships are never accidents.

Where I’m From

I was raised in Memphis for the first half of my life, spent five years in a suburb southeast of St. Paul, and am most recently a total city girl living in and around the Twin Cities metro area. I LOVE living in and exploring my way through these cities, but look forward to spending some quality time with a few others.

My Vices

Great wine (note: does not mean expensive wine), great food, great people, exploration (new restaurants, bars, etc.), Minneapolis music, live music, Interneting, Social Media, TRAVEL
