I help Austin-based brands develop the best strategy to promote themselves. Clients appreciate my positive personality, strong work ethic and personalized service.

Most of my clients have been referred through word of mouth. And I have a history of happy and long partnerships. We care for one another in Austin and I’ve seen that first-hand in my client partnerships. While every client inspires my creativity, I have a special place in my heart for health and wellness-based companies. 

I always knew I’d work in a creative field. I studied Communications at Northwestern University and then spent five years working in advertising at Leo Burnett in Chicago. My clients included McDonald’s, Philip Morris and Allstate. A move to San Francisco allowed me to pursue public relations and events for Macy’s West and Bloomingdale’s.

Twelve years in vibrant cities fulfilled my desire for urban living and culture. In 2005, it was time to come home. My husband and I moved back to Texas after my daughter was born.

We love living in Central Texas and raising our family here. We are deeply involved in our community and love Austin’s evolving scene.

The chance to manage my PR consultancy has been a true gift! I find immense joy in the creativity of my work. And cultivating relationships feeds my soul. There’s nothing I’d rather be doing.
