ABOUT ME

I’ve always been curious and passionate about blending art and science, the left and right side of the brain.

I have spent the last 15 years refining that skill through the lens of marketing and brand experiences, engaging consumers with some of the largest brands in the world in the sport and wellness space. 

I strive to constantly spread positivity to those around me every day, with each project and adventure I'm a part of.
