ABOUT ME |
Ask me what I love and I will tell you storytelling. Yes I could list out cliché things like family, friends and food but how will you really grasp how much I love these things unless I tell you a story about it.
Storytelling is the way we connect and build relationships and helping others tell their story is a privilege that I'm grateful I get to do across a variety of different brands/accounts. |
My Story
I grew up in broken low-income family in Central Arkansas. My mother was incarcerated when I was young and my dad was not in my life. I later learned he died during my adolescence. My mother was released from prison in 2001 after my oldest sister was murdered. Still I never had a great relationship with many of my relatives and my relationship with my mother was toxic and abusive. For most of my life I felt alone.
I found comfort writing and expressing myself. I thought of my life as a movie, a story and I wrote everything I felt and experienced. I was always book smart and was lucky enough to be accepted into a private college in 2011 where I married and started a family of my own.
After spending a year and a half abroad in my ex-husband's home country of Belgium, I realized that I'd always had a passion for storytelling and wanted to pursue a career that allowed me to use my creative skills to do just that. So I returned to Harding University in the fall of 2015. Returning to school was difficult, especially with a baby and after the death of a close relative but nevertheless I graduated December 2017 with my Bachelor of Arts in Public Relations.
