Executive Assistant

I always thought my dream was to be a 𝐰𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐫 for a little indie publishing company, sipping my caramel macchiato while reading the opening lines to the next best-selling wizard novel. It seemed like an appropriate dream given my original English major proclamation. But a spark ignited the instant I showed up in my first 𝐩𝐬𝐲𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐲 course. I didn’t want to write about imaginary people but rather help them IRL.

That spark led me into roles where human connection, 𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐭𝐲, and problem-solving took center stage. While at Starbucks, I was no longer just sipping caramel macchiatos but 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐬 how to serve cups of happiness to customers. My job title was store manager but I was responsible for finding great people + finding out if they could act with courage, be present, and deliver their very best. I successfully 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 for a team of over 30 employees by implementing efficient 𝐬𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 and developing effective metrics for tracking 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧. I loved working with other coffee junkies at Starbucks while inspiring and nurturing limitless possibilities of human connection- with every cup, with every conversation, with every community at a time. 

And just like coffee, another passion has never left me: 𝐩𝐡𝐨𝐭𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐡𝐲. Long before I learned how to pull the perfect espresso shot, I was chasing golden light with my Canon camera in hand, telling stories with images instead of words. These days, that same love fuels my work in content creation - capturing moments that connect, crafting visuals that stop the scroll, and shaping brand stories that people want to be part of.

I have a BA from Rowan University in Psychology. I currently 𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐚 𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐲 as a people & culture administrator at 𝐈𝐊𝐄𝐀.

I’m always interested in hearing from former colleagues, recruiters, or interesting creative folk, so feel free to contact me if you’d like to connect. (Also, if you did write the best-selling 𝔀𝓲𝔃𝓪𝓻𝓭𝓻𝔂 novel please send me a copy).
