I'm a young professional, with a background in Fashion Merchandising & Digital Marketing. I graduated from Saint Joseph's University in 2016 with a degree in Spanish & Linguistics. I spent a semester studying in Granada, Spain, where I lived with a host family while traveling, making new friends, and taking a full course load in Spanish.

After graduating, I stayed in Philadelphia for two years. During my early post-graduate years, I worked as a Barista, where I got to know my Philly "regulars" and discovered in what direction I wanted to head. While making lattes and dog-walking on the weekends, I sought out internship opportunities during the week to figure out where my talents and passions intersect. What was originally a two-month contract on the David's Bridal Digital Marketing Team eventually turned into seven months alongside an incredible team of mentors.

In August 2018, I drove down to Austin, Texas, where I lived for 10 months, working as a Barista/Server. After some soul searching (and some of the best tacos of my life), I made a bittersweet return home to New York to pursue a career in fashion full time. My role as an Assistant Merchandiser has given me a holistic understanding of the retail business, while also affording me the opportunity to really dig into the nuances of my categories and products.

In Spring 2021, I returned to Philadelphia and the coffeeshop where my post-grad journey began. I'm eagerly seeking opportunities to exercise my creativity and learn about mindful, sustainable design and small business ownership. During my downtime, I enjoy knitting, barre, and trying new coffee!
