About
Creative.
Teacher.
Always ready for a dance party.
As a California girl, then a Kentucky girl, then a Texas girl, and now a new(ish) DC local, I am basically a walking “worlds collide” moment. I love finding forced connections as one myself, such as mixing Tupac and Shania Twain on one playlist or saying “dudes” and “y’all” interchangeably. Having grown up hopping around different cities for most of my life, I have gotten in the habit of looking for a new adventure every few years, usually involving a new place.
After studying advertising and public relations at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, I picked up the adventure of teaching some lovely, crazy second graders math and science in Washington, DC, as part of my work with Teach For America. I continued writing on the side, and tried to incorporate my writing into my lessons. Word problems got a whole lot more fun, if that’s possible.
And now, I’m back to being a creative full-time!
I am dedicated to getting it done and making sure it is done well. I am looking to positively impact the communications industry and the global community with impactful writing, teamwork, and servant leadership. I am excited to continue my career as a creative, work with incredible and talented individuals, and help organizations achieve their mission and embody their values in their messaging and campaigns.
(And have a few dance parties with good people and good music along the way.)
No, seriously, dance party.
It truly is one of my all-time habits and routines to help me get in the zone, get out of my head, and get the party started. It is a “Palmer Beldy Signature,” so I’m told, and has been known to make an appearance in the classroom and on the job.
I can bring this suit with me as needed.
