I am a Midwestern native who moved to the Bay Area one year ago (June 2014). I am looking to break into the tech world in terms of social media, sales, content marketing, growth hacking, community managing and engagement, digital marketing and strategy, user growth and management, and PR/media relations. I also want to teach at a university sporadically (on the side).

I have funded all of my education (2 BA, MA, and PhD), worked as an executive media broadcast producer, helped to program film festivals (major and university), and media/communications specialist/manager.

I have been successful with my past work. I doubled a small niche audience and increased the following of a mass version. I also have a passion to market and sell. Email is my friend!

I am a go-getter, have a penchant for risk, comfortable with change, a leader, team player, outgoing, enthusiastic, ambitious, dedicated, creative but love analytics, concise, friendly, full of energy, fun but serious, driven, open, and trustworthy.

I have a passion for wine found in Napa, Sonoma, and Lodi, CA (see my Twitter page). I am an inspiring sommelier. I like to make beaded wine cork bracelets. I am a trained Irish dancer, follow Latin American cinema, like to knit, draw, and color.
