Fangirl turned digital marketing and social media strategist with seven years of experience in community growth, sentiment analysis, and digital asset management across corporate and start-up spaces. Previously worked alongside L’Oréal, Clorox, and Mars, developing organized systems and creative strategies that help teams communicate clearly and connect with audiences.Pop culture & music journalist for hire.Currently open to freelance, project-based, and full-time opportunities in the metro Atlanta area or hybrid/remote roles.

I know online fan culture as someone who was in it for the love of the game long before going pro. (And I'm still in it, but that's not really the point.)I was a pre-teen learning how to code on Xanga, LiveJournal, and MySpace, which turned into a love of existing in and creating online fan spaces... that then translated into building real-life communities in convention halls, hotel rooms, and concert venues. I've done marketing strategy for a popular Atlanta gaming bar and venue and ran social media for a pop culture convention that served fans of The Walking Dead and The CW's DC Extended Universe, then took my skills to corporate America as a consultant in 2021.

I've worked as a Digital Asset Specialist for top corporate clients like Marriott, Mars, Clorox, and L’Oreal, collaborating with agency users on metadata management and user training, as well as auditing and enrichment of assets on top of migration.I graduated with a degree in Communication with a focus in Media Studies from Kennesaw State University in 2016, and spent my undergrad years interning with music publications and veteran advocacy organizations.I think that genuine advocacy is cool. Having belief in a thing so much that it drives you to create space, media, and conversation around it? That's something that every brand chases and pours money and creative power into, and why I do what I do.Most importantly, it's something I'd love to bring to your team!

In my free time, you can catch me perusing records at an estate sale in Atlanta, watching an F1 race with one eye open, planning my next trip to see a Nick Cave soundsuit in person, or waving a K-Pop lightstick at a pop punk gig.
