My Maven Superpower is … organization
Best book I’ve read lately is … Everybody Writes by Ann Handley
Self-care habit I swear by … sleep
My first job was … a sales associate at Jean Nicole at Greenwood Park Mall.
The best career advice I can offer is … follow your heart, do what you love.
I feel most confident when … the sun is shining.
My favorite local restaurant dish is … not super local, but the Triple B Burger from Emporium 109 in Ladoga.
The thing I’ve been binging lately is … Law & Order reruns.
A fun fact about me is … I am color blind.
The skill I most want to learn is … there are so many crafts that I want to try…quilling, resin pouring, and designing in clay.
A Maven you should know is … Jenna Kienle
What’s next for you? What can we expect to see over the next few years? Since I just recently started to freelance full-time, I will be adding to my client list over the next few years. I will be participating in more local business events, and I am in the process of writing a young adult novel.
Do you have any passion projects? I have a number of creative side gigs. I design and sell notebooks with unique interiors on Amazon. I have an Etsy store where I sell items related to office humor. I like to be creative in general and have designed everything from watch faces to phone backgrounds. You can find links to everything here.
