About Me

I’m a Self-Starter

I’m propelled by a strong focus on customer needs. It is my job to ensure that users reach their intended destination whether it’s to be well-informed or completing a transaction. Every day I direct search campaigns to the highest level of efficiency that will allow users to feel confident in their decisions.

I’m a Creator

There’s a creator inside all of us. The creator inside of me asks important questions like, “Why?” and, “How?”. I strive to find new opportunities where I can effectively meet customer and business demands.

COVID-19 Patient & Medical Support

Cleveland Clinic
January 2020

During the pandemic when hospitals were short on staff, I had the opportunity to volunteer and provide clinical support. From checking in patients, taking temperatures, and assisting with the triage of Covid symptoms. It was certainly an eye-opening moment as I developed new admiration and respect for our healthcare force.

Board Member

User Experience Professionals Association (Cleveland Chapter)

I served as a Board Member for UXPA, managing our website, email marketing, events, and account subscriptions. It was a great experience to utilize this opportunity to network and meeting with leaders within the UX industry.
