About Me
I'm a true people person; a stay up late talking over red wine, wake up slow and make breakfast, sit on the porch and watch the sun climb person.
My life revolves around marketing, communication, and spending time with people I love. I'm more often than not found around a dinner table with friends, having a conversation over a cup of coffee, or exploring a new city.
My experience is highly varied, ranging from writing and social media management, to design and website maintenance. I bring passion, determination, dedication and freedom to every area of my life. Let's get to know each other!
