As a terminally online millennial, I know online fan culture. I lived it as a pre-teen who learned HTML and CSS on Xanga, LiveJournal, and MySpace, roleplaying anywhere they'd let me write a story as a teenager, and later, building thriving fan spaces through Tumblr, Twitter, and Discord that spilled into real-world convention halls, concert venues, and hotel rooms as an adult.I harnessed the power of fandom into a professional career crafting marketing strategy for popular Atlanta gaming bar Battle & Brew or managing social media for Walker Stalker Con—roles that let me lean into being pop culture obsessed, yet savvy on creating conversation that converts into a filled bar or a busy convention floor.
I graduated with a Communication degree with a Media Studies focus from Kennesaw State University, where I learned the foundations for a freelancing career as a music journalist. I've wrote feature stories for Afropunk's inaugural Atlanta fest back in 2015, have interviewed artists from boy bands to blues musicians, and have hosted and guested on podcasts about pop culture and music where I put the spotlight on up-and-coming talent.As an undergrad, I ran social media and managed email campaigns for the student organization YESbody! which focused on advocacy and social justice on campus and beyond, and worked as a general intern for a social justice organization serving women veterans in the United States. I am passionate about advocacy and service to others, something that has continued in leading fan-based initiatives that also generate donations and harness fan power into social good.I believe in the power of fandom, but mostly I believe that genuine advocacy comes from knowing what gets people excited. If you're a brand that is looking to create space and conversation, or have a project that requires some fan-first energy, get in touch! Let's make some magic together.
