A Bit About Me

I’m a Community Manager, Content Creator, and Social Media Specialist with 5+ years of experience elevating online communities, especially in the animation education space. I graduated from the Savannah College of Art and Design with a BFA in Animation, but discovered an unexpected passion for community building, social strategy, and creating content that genuinely connects.

​

At Agora.Community, I helped develop the recognizable short-form video style used across our social channels, supported animators through virtual events and resources, and used analytics to guide creative decisions.

​

I’m especially motivated by mission-driven work that uplifts others. As a rare disease survivor, I’m passionate about contributing to projects that inspire, support, and empower people.

​

Outside of work, I volunteer with TNR for stray and feral cats. I’m married to the coolest guy ever, enjoy hiking and gaming, and still animate for fun.
