About Me

I am a proud Gen Y'er who is highly passionate about social media and digital media, specifically online video. I am full of ideas and always find myself in a new project.

Currently, I am the founder of ATS (Another Twenty-Something). This blog's goal is to inspire 20-somethings to start their next project through interviews, stories, videos & projects of my own and share them with the whole world utilizing social media.

I also help people and businesses with utilizing social media for brand awareness.

Lastly, I am the Community Manager for Genjuice, an online platform for motivated 20-somethings & Gen Y.
