For as long as I can remember, I've been driven by a desire to contribute and give back to my community. That's why I pursued a degree in Sociology and then took a job in politics upon graduating. Heck, I even went to grad school and got a masters in public administration. That's how sure I was about wanting to devote my life to public service. It wasn't long before I realized that, as an introvert, I wasn't cut out for a life in politics. I much preferred being behind the scenes working on tasks that allowed me to be creative, like planning events and creating marketing/outreach materials for constituents. I left politics.
Fast forward to the present. Jan says to me, "Do you want to be my marketing director?" What? A chance to be a part of an organization who's sole purpose is to give back to the community? And I get to play a behind the scenes role doing something that I love, marketing and outreach? Well, this one's a no brainer. Abso-friggin-lutely yes. So here I am, honored to be a part of this great organization, to be able to work along side my good friend Jan and excited to have an opportunity to serve the community again. This feels like coming home.
I am a graphic designer and currently reside in Los Angeles with my husband Eric and daughters, Audrey and Madeline. When I'm not designing, I usually keep busy by daydreaming about our next vacation to hawaii, listening to jack johnson songs, drinking coffee and browsing anthropologie catalogs.
