Changing careers & chasing new dreams

I graduated from Kent State University in 2012 with a BS in Fashion Merchandising.  I worked in editorial for Vermont Vows & WellWed Magazines and as a visual merchandiser for J.Crew after graduation before landing a career in hospitality.  For the last five years I worked in the hospitality industry in sales and marketing roles.  Most recently I was the corporate sales manager for The TENNESSEAN, Personal Luxury, Hotel and Holiday Inn World’s Fair Park in Knoxville, TN. Due to the global pandemic, I reevaluate my career goals and realized it was time for a big shake up. I am passionate about branding and hope to work for a Fortune 500 company upon graduation (although things may change).  

Currently, I live in Northern Virginia with my boyfriend, Anthony and our two dogs, Coop and Mustard.
