Convergence.

Without a doubt, convergence is my favorite word. As an idea junkie with a variety of interests, there's nothing I enjoy more than playing the role of a "bridge" -- bringing great ideas, resources and communities together to interact with and advance one another.

As a creative, I've filled a variety of roles along my career path -- graphic designer, social media manager, brand strategist, photographer, web designer, and marketing consultant -- enjoying them all. In everything I've created or assisted in its creation, a consistent, effective and daringly honest presentation of the brand has always been my primary goal.

Currently, I serve as Public Affairs Manager at CORTEX — leading marketing strategy and project management for our 200-acre innovation district, as we work to drive inclusive economic growth throughout the St. Louis region.

Away from the office, I am a bit of an audiophile, a food lover with an emerging passion for floral design. I am also proud to serve on the board of directors at Laumeier Sculpture Park. Finally, I love being a wife of a software designer/creative and the mom of the most wonderful little boy.
