I was born and raised in Ocala, Florida and I am deeply rooted in this community through family and faith. I am passionate about seeing the community that I grew up in uplifted. The reason I came to United Way was that I saw the perfect opportunity to be able to impact the lives of the very people of Marion County, where I am from. With a BA in Communication Media Studies from the University of Akron and some post-grad experience in Business Administration at The University of Louisiana-Monroe, digital marketing and business communication are my key attributes. As the Director of Marketing & PR, I aspire to drive brand awareness and align the company and community with the vision and goals of United Way. With my marketing efforts, I will propel the organization towards achieving our mission of fighting for education, financial stability, and the health of every resident in Marion County.
