Bio

I was born and raised in Fort Wayne, Indiana. I attended DePaul University and majored in International Studies with a concentration in Human Rights.  After five years of alternating semesters of work and school, I decided to keep it simple and return home to study Communication and Public Relations at the University of Saint Francis’ School of Creative Arts, where I received a Bachelor of Arts degree in May of 2011. For the past three years, I have worked with Trees Indiana, a local non-profit organization whose mission is to teach youth to become stewards of the environment. I served a variety of roles in the startup organization, from writing press releases and newsletters, to editing grants, engaging in social media, and coaching the executive director through media interviews. I worked as a Marketing Intern at Inside Indiana Business during the summer of 2010, where I created a social media marketing plan. I have recently relocated to the beautiful city of Carmel, Indiana where I happily reside with my new husband, Corey.
