Be proud of yourself, be proud of your work.

Those words have always led me to success.

After spending a few years living in Europe, it gave me a rare opportunity to discover what truly makes me happy (besides croissants and men with accents). It led me to a career I am truly passionate about.

Being a creative perfectionist with a tendency to stray from conformity and follow my own instincts, a career in marketing seemed a perfect fit.

Once back in the US I followed my passion into communications. I have always been an accomplished and passionate writer, so I continued to build my blog.

As I continued down this path, doors began to open and I followed wherever they led.

Little did I know, the doors opened right into my dream job. I am now able to fight conformity with…well no real opposition. I found my bold, creative ideas met with excitement and above all, success.

During my time in Europe, I never expected that my future held both passion and career in the palm of its hand. Every day I wake up with both a swell of excitement and a twinge of sadness. Sadness that not everyone has found a way to make a career and a passion come together so beautifully.
