About Me

I grew up in the cultural mecca of Black River Falls, Wisconsin. I decided in 4th grade that I would go to college at the University of Wisconsin - Madison like my then-idol, Frank Lloyd Wright (to say I was a girl with a plan would be a bit of an understatement).

I graduated from the University of Wisconsin - Madison in May 2009 with a Bachelors Degree in Marketing and a Certificate in Religious Studies. As an undergraduate, I worked in online consumer research & social media strategy, and am currently honing my marketing, writing and new media skills at a small marketing firm in Madison.

I'm an avid reader, design enthusiast, sushi fanatic, and, most importantly, a life-long learner. My interests run the gamut -- I'm just as comfortable talking about the brilliance of the Sartorialist as I am discussing the use of Buddhism as a political tool in Myanmar. Quirky? Yes, but it works for me.
