I was born in Sacramento but spent my childhood in the small town of Winters, California. After my parents split, I moved with my mom to Davis, where I finished high school before diving straight into the workforce for about six years. Eventually, I decided to set my sights on the future and enrolled at Sacramento City College, where I immersed myself in a mix of design and content creation courses - from Advanced Photoshop and Illustrator to Game Design, Typography, 3D Modeling, and Writing. When I was preparing to transfer to Sacramento State University, I landed an entry-level job at a local tech startup called SkySlope. I decided to make a bold pivot: I put school on hold and focused on growing my career there. Over my six years at SkySlope, I worked my way from Technical Support Supervisor to joining their newly formed Marketing team as a Digital Content Specialist.

When the pandemic hit, SkySlope was forced to downsize, and the Marketing team was mostly dismantled. After a challenging year of self-reflection, a few temporary marketing gigs, and a lot of time at home with my cats, I found a home at another fast-growing local company - MyOutDesk. I've been here for nearly four years as their Digital Marketing Specialist, where I wear many hats: managing our social media, creating content, writing blogs, case studies, and B2B emails, and even stepping in for some graphic design. My journey may not have gone exactly to plan, but it’s given me a well-rounded skill set that I apply to everything I do. Today, I’m proud to leverage that experience in a career I’m passionate about, ensuring each project stays sharp, cohesive, and impactful. And, of course, fun whenever appropriate.
