About
WHO AM I
I was raised in western Washington, moved to Nashville to attend Belmont University, and am always open to moving somewhere new. In college, I was a top student, frequent team player, and student leader in numerous organizations. I am an organized strategist with experience in project management. I am naturally creative and decidedly analytical. I like learning about consumer insights, business strategy, and behavioral economics. Looking for work at a company that is loved by consumers and at the businesses that help brands connect with customers. I am excited by the option of relocating to a large US city for work.
