One of my greatest joys in life comes from watching a project turn from an idea to reality. There is a certain kind of alchemy that takes place in that transformation. I can't wait to hear what you're working on and what role I might be able to play in that! Whether I'm joining at the very start of this journey—researching, drafting grant applications, pitching ideas, compiling relevant texts... Or I'm hitching a ride in the middle of the road—ensuring a project is on track to meet its goals, providing support to the team, ensuring we don't go off course—I'm always so eager to play my part in seeing any project meet and exceed its expectations. I have a keen eye for details, and I pride myself on my pattern recognition, allowing me to make sense of even what may look chaotic to someone else. No project has scared me yet! Beyond project management, I'm passionate about writing (creative, research, ghostwriting); editing; organizing data; maintaining strong customer relationships; and finding any excuse to discover new features in Microsoft Office and Google Suite. When I'm not on the clock, I love to go on long walks with my dog Tegan, research restaurants, and expand my perfume sample collection. Communication is everything to me, so let's keep in touch.
