BACKSTORY

I've always wanted to tell stories.

Whether that was acting out a character on stage or building a scene with LEGO® bricks—it's always been something that came natural.

Once I discovered I could make a career out of that, I spend four transformative years at Brigham Young University and received a Bachelor of Arts in Communications.

 

Jumping into a career, I have spent a number of years doing strategic communications and marketing in higher education. I get to balance storytelling with data and collaboration and I've enjoyed every minute. Enough that I wanted to further my education by studying for an MBA from The Ohio State University.

 

Adding additional members to our family has only furthered our story. Now, when I'm not at work or school, I'm teaching my kids about Star Wars and filling their heads with Canadian trivia.
