About
A multifaceted professional with a Master’s in Arts Management, I’ve been nationally recognized for my recruiting efforts to revitalize Downtown Highland Park in addition to being published in Time Magazine for my entrepreneurial business endeavors. Fully capable of handling all aspects of running a small business from the ground up, I have proven success in tenant recruiting, management, training, customer service, small business consulting, small business development, public relations, programming, marketing and communications, and fundraising.
A highly energetic right-brained conceptualizer with left-brained execution, I am able to quickly connect the dots and make sense out of what seems to be the impossible. Overtly curious by nature with a genuine interest in the people around me, I have an innate ability to develop large networks and long-standing sincere relationships.
With nonprofit, city government and corporate work experience, I’ve been recognized for my strong work ethic, people skills, loyalty, and extreme dedication.
