Founded Collective at MX — 4,300 square feet of retail housing sixty brands under one roof, among the Midwest’s first.

Four years as style editor at a regional magazine recognized nationally by the City and Regional Magazine Association.

B.A., School of Journalism and Mass Communications, University of South Carolina.

I began my career in the corporate halls of Chanel. What followed: edited a magazine, ran PR in-house, founded an agency, directed brand and retail, launched startups, and led communications and marketing from the C-suite. NOTA exists because organizations don’t always need an in-house department or full agency experience. They need clarity, experience, and agility.
