‍

I’m a marketing specialist, brand designer and strategist based on Long Island, New York. Being a native to the Empire State, I'm constantly talking about the superiority of our pizza and bagels.

‍

I grew up in a house that supported creativity and imagination. My enthusiasm for innovative thinking lead me to pursue my Bachelor of Arts in Communication at SUNY Geneseo. After graduation, I decided to pursue a degree where visual communication and strategy are imperative: marketing. Currently, I am pursuing my Master of Science in Marketing at CUNY Baruch College, Zicklin School of Business.

Although life is fast-paced as a full-time grad student, I'm working as a freelance brand strategist and designer for small businesses in the Long Island Greater Area. Since launching my brand design company, Melodus, I’ve had the wonderful opportunity to collaborate with successful entrepreneurs and learn more about establishing cohesive brand identity, campaign management, and developing a brand strategy.

When I'm not creating, I am typically outside either hiking, running, or birding. As an adventure enthusiast, I am constantly seeing the beauty in the world around me. Take a peek at my bird photography here.
