Did you grow up in Spartanburg County?
Yes.

What do your key professional responsibilities consist of?
Marketing and PR

What inspires you about your career path?
Each client presents the opportunity to help an organization or individual tell their story and improve their reach.

Which professional accomplishments are you most proud of?
The work I did with Sesame Street and their teams globally was really rewarding before I moved back to SC, and since then I’ve enjoyed working with smaller nonprofits like The Spartanburg Science Center and Spartanburg Area Conservancy. But my highlight was helping City Council woman Meghan Smith get elected!

What advice would you offer fellow young professionals?
If you’re passionate about something and it doesn’t fall within your current career trajectory, figure out how to incorporate it into volunteer efforts…or better start a side hustle! The experience you gain showing up and supporting this community is invaluable and can lead to greater opportunities, I promise.

What excites you about Spartanburg County?
I find that it’s one of the most hopeful places I’ve ever lived. I really believe in the people of Spartanburg, especially right now.
