consider this my highlight reel.
Think of me as the friend who always has a book in her bag, a plane ticket on the horizon, and a story to tell. I care about good questions, honest answers, and finding beauty in everyday adventures. If that sounds like you too, we’ll get along just fine.

Writer & Traveler
It all began with a notebook full of stories and a passport that refused to stay closed.
From Texas rodeo arenas to Mediterranean coastlines, I’ve carried my curiosity across 30+ countries and into every role. My work now blends writing, PR, and travel with storytelling that connects people and places. Keep scrolling, and you’ll see how the journey keeps unfolding.

From Texas to Turkey and beyond, a map of the 30+ countries that have shaped my story.
A winding timeline of plot points, detours, and milestones that brought me here.
A quick look at the projects, writing, and creative collaborations I’m most excited about right now.

Central America & the Caribbean
Think mango juice, sea breeze, and dancing that starts at sunset. From Puerto Rico’s unmatched warmth (both literal and emotional) to cliff dives in Cozumel and slow mornings in Belize, this region is full of joy, rhythm, and color. I always leave a little happier than I arrived.

Canary Islands & the Iberian Peninsula
Fuerteventura is my ride-or-die island — Bella and I return whenever we need sunshine, snacks from Dino Market, and beachy freedom. From late-night Lisbon strolls to sleepy afternoons in Lagos, the Iberian Peninsula has always felt like vacation in its purest form: sandy, salty, and full of life.
Spain, Portugal
United States + National Parks
I've driven across the States more times than I can count, hiked through iconic national parks, and slept in ski towns, island cottages, and city apartments. My version of the U.S. is a patchwork of adventure, nostalgia, and diner breakfasts at dawn.
National Parks, Major Cities, Road Trips
Eastern & Central Europe
I called Prague home for a year, and used every weekend to explore nearby cities like Budapest, Split, and Mostar. These travels weren’t fancy — they were chaotic, funny, unfiltered, and full of character. My budget was tight, but the memories are rich.

I’m currently working as the Editorial & Marketing Intern at Regenerative Travel, where I create SEO content, support influencer outreach, and help tell stories that center sustainability and cultural preservation. I also worked with @servedbysara (57k+ followers) to build backend systems and scale strategy with intention. This fall, I’m moving to Lisbon to continue building a creative, purpose-driven career in media and travel.

I moved to London to pursue my MSc in Media and Communications at the London School of Economics, graduating with Merit. My studies focused on narrative, technology, and global culture, and my dissertation — awarded Distinction — explored cosmopolitan love in Call Me By Your Name. While in London, I also wrapped up strategic content work with TX Van Company.

2024
I spent the winter and summer of 2023 in Jackson Hole, working in hospitality while remotely leading marketing campaigns for TX Van Company. I wrote newsletters, crafted SEO content, and helped grow organic traffic by 15% month-over-month. That season taught me how to build relationships across time zones — and how to tell a cohesive story both online and face to face.

2023
I moved to Prague to earn my TESOL certification and teach English to adult learners. I designed customized lessons, tracked progress, and built trust across cultures — all while navigating a new city and language myself. That same year, I joined InGenius Prep as a Graduate Coach, helping students tell authentic, compelling stories in their college applications.

2022
The summer after graduation, I worked at Millie’s on Nantucket — one of the island’s busiest restaurants. I served guests from around the world in a fast-paced, high-pressure environment, learning how to stay calm, solve problems quickly, and deliver thoughtful, high-touch service. It was a crash course in communication and grace under pressure.

2021
At Boston College, I earned a B.A. in Communication with a minor in Film Studies and graduated cum laude. I explored global media, campaign strategy, and narrative theory — while working as a student caller at the Alumni Center, where I spoke with hundreds of alumni and refined my ability to connect, persuade, and hold space for a good story.

2017 - 2021
I grew up in Fort Worth, Texas, where my dad ran the local rodeo arena and community meant everything. Surrounded by grit and storytelling, I learned how to read a room, connect with anyone, and adapt on the fly — skills that have followed me into every creative brainstorm and cross-cultural experience since.

The Timeline
About Me
The LONG STORY
Professional storyteller, recovering academic, forever curious.
My background is a mix of communications, media, and creative strategy, shaped by a deep interest in how people share ideas. Whether it’s building campaigns, writing essays, or mapping out digital content, I’ve always been drawn to the craft of turning complexity into connection.
This site brings together the threads of that work alongside the things I’m still exploring. Think of it as equal parts portfolio and personal project — a space for experimenting, reflecting, and sharing stories in motion.
