I love cooking and meal planning and trying new recipes - and eating! It’s actually a big de-stressor for me. My whole family loves to cook and bake - my mom especially - whenever we all get together it’s always centered around a favorite meal, a new recipe or a new food trend (breakfast charcuterie boards anyone?). I’ve already started instilling a love for food in my 1.5-year-old daughter - she loves helping measure flour, taste testing chocolate chips and “patiently” waiting for whatever we’ve made to come out of the oven. 

My favorite part of PR, specifically an agency, is the teamwork. I love collaborating with my teams and working with so many different people at different stages in their career, all with different passions and strengths and opportunities ahead. 

I love the fast-paced nature of tech - especially cybersecurity, it’s never boring. There is always a new hack, a new nation-state development, a new breaking news cycle, a new solution, a new answer. I drive strategic, integrated programs for partners that build awareness, impact business goals and drive leads. I also have extensive experience in feature storytelling leading to top-tier placements in publications including Fortune, Fast Company, Wall Street Journal and broadcast including NPR, Good Morning America, CNN and more. 

Helping people grow, find their passion points and follow their interests - whatever path that may take them on. It makes me proud when my teams succeed and when my people succeed - whether that’s an amazing media hit, a writing project they nailed, strategic guidance that was on point or taking advantage of a career growth opportunity that Highwire has to offer. 

Chasing my goofy toddler around, spending time with my husband and mini-goldendoodle, enjoying a glass of wine with family or friends, planning my next meal, taking a barre class, or binging a new TV show.
