Home for me is…

Stow, Ohio! I originally grew up in a small town called Canton, Georgia, before moving to Hudson, Ohio, in sixth grade to be closer to my family in the Cleveland area. Growing up in Northeast Ohio has given me a special appreciation for the community and the people who make it feel like home!

This is the perfect job for me because…

I've always dreamed of turning my passion for social media into a career! While studying Integrated Marketing Communications in college, I discovered my love for both the creative and strategic sides of marketing. I quickly realized I wanted a career that allowed me to think outside the box and bring ideas to life.

During college, I started growing my own social media platforms and fell in love with the strategy behind creating content that connects with people. When I found Monarch, it felt like the perfect fit! Now, I get to combine my passion for content creation, marketing, and helping businesses grow every day.

My favorite part of my job has to be…

The variety of clients and industries I get to work with! Every brand has its own story, audience, and goals, which constantly challenges me to think creatively and approach marketing from different perspectives. I love the balance between creativity and strategy, especially understanding the psychology behind what makes content resonate with an audience. Getting to connect with passionate business owners and help bring their visions to life is one of the most rewarding parts of what I do!

When I’m not working you can find me…

Thrifting, spending time with my husband and our cat, or making memories with family! I also love playing soccer, going for runs or walks outside, and soaking up any opportunity to spend time at the beach.
