About Me

I LIVE (and love) social media and how it relates to marketing as well as customer service in general. I use my psychology degree to create engagement through social media that enhances and drives awareness of products and services. I write strategy for social media that creates real social relationships.

I have experience both in social media and in-field events through my time with Mosaic Experiential Marketing, promoting the DellUniversity.com program. I have also worked with the Dell Streak tour during the Boston events in late Summer, 2010.

My other passion in life is teaching others. I am currently a graduate student at the University of Massachusetts Amherst in the 1 year Bridges to the Future immersion education program. I am currently interning at Mohawk Regional High School in Shelburne Falls, MA.

When I'm not doing either of those things, you will probably find me playing a musical instrument. I play the tenor sax and had some of the greatest experiences of my life playing in the UMass Minuteman Marching Band as an undergraduate. You can also find me riding my bike around, and I someday hope to bike across the country.

My goals are to find a job in Social Media or Education- or maybe both if it's flexible enough.
