I've spent my entire career in communications with stints at Kohl's as a writer and editor for their website as well as being a member of their corporate public relations team. I then went to the Indiana University Alumni Association, my undergrad alma mater, where I wrote and edited any marketing material that went to our 60,000+ alumni base.

So far, I've spent the bulk of my career at Constellation Brands in their Beer Division. I started doing newsletters and events for our Sales team and very quickly became part of the PR team, creating external campaigns across our full portfolio - Corona, Modelo, Pacifico, Victoria and Fresca Mixed. My last stop has been at Conagra Brands, a food company that includes iconic brands such as Duncan Hines, Vlasic Pickles and more. There I focused on internal communications, writing newsletters for our CCO, writing and creating our CEO's Monday video messages as well as developing all internal signage across our two corporate locations and many plant facilities.

I received my master's degree from the University of Southern California in May 2022. Studying communication management at the Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism, I learned so much about my field and was able to apply those learnings to my professional roles.
