Just your [self-proclaimed] above average millennial figuring out how to navigate the world. I write, paint, take photos, watch anime, stare into the abyss, plan travel (usually for others)—I do it all!
But on a more professional note, I graduated from Emerson College in the summer of 2020 with a masters in Strategic Marketing Communications. I spent my time focusing on the creative side of marketing to learn how to tell brand stories and understand how best to engage an audience through words and visuals; all while working as a full-time Administrative Assistant at the MIT Media Lab.
On the side, I take photos for fun, throw clay on pottery wheels, and fall into YouTube rabbit holes where I watch Morticians Answer Dead Body Questions from Twitter.
Just your everyday, above average millennial.
