A creator and nerd at heart, I discovered my love for design in high school, as the perfect meld between my interests in digital technology and art. I began experimenting with design in Microsoft Word (eek!), then dove in to teach myself an outdated version of Photoshop that I managed to get her hands on, and eventually, I attended Ithaca College where I earned a Bachelor of Science in Integrated Marketing Communications and a minor in Still Photography.

​

Born and raised in the Finger Lakes region, I have always aspired to help local businesses thrive through polished branding, marketing, and design. I spent five years as the Marketing & Communications Specialist at Finger Lakes Wine Country, where I worked with regional businesses and community leaders to brand the destination and promote its experiences to visitors and residents. Currently, I am the Strategic Design Boss for The Brand Boss Studio, where I help business owners tap into their true, authentic brand identity to own their difference and show up powerfully in the marketplace.

​

I am also a maker with a passion for crafting a variety of handmade items for my brand Honeybee Handmade. I sell my handcrafted items at a local store and at events throughout the year.

​

You can add Rainmaker and Amazon seller as additional titles of mine as well. I am a member of The Rainmaker Family, both as an entrepreneur selling products via Amazon FBA and as a Support Sister helping new Rainmakers get started with their journey.

When I'm not behind my computer, I can be found crafting, listening to podcasts, binge-watching reality competition shows, visiting local breweries, and spending time with my family and dog, Lola.
