Background: I started my studies at Wilmington University as a marketing major. How grateful I am to have spent my freshman year in introductory marketing classes because unbeknownst to me at the time, I would go on to switch majors to communications; a pathway that is heavily reliant on utilizing media to market. My switch was inspired by my creative spirit. I quickly discovered that I could utilize my creative eye, to drive causes I felt passionate about. In early 2016 I was bit by the Chamber bug, as many say. Interning with the Delaware State Chamber of Commerce revealed to me the ability to utilize my skills to network, advocate and connect public and private, for-profit and non-profit sectors. Throughout the course of the next four years I worked inside 3 different Chambers of Commerce across 3 states, discovering the diverse needs of varying localities from urban cities to rural communities and all in between.  During my career I have worked on projects and issues relating to agriculture, education, economic development, small business, workforce, health and community wellness. I feel blessed to have the opportunities to meet a diverse range of individuals, hear their stories and be able to share those stories with others through my work.
