About

I have a passion for health and fitness, a Master’s in International Political Economy, and a career in social media and digital marketing. I write about my life because I’m still trying to figure out who I am and how I got here.

Health & Wellness

Body image, fitness, depression, diet culture, eating disorders — even therapy. I’m not afraid to speak from experience on topics I have dealt with on and off my entire life.

Oh yes! Branding Workshops

Messaging & positioning are key components of any business or brand. I help small businesses and startups explore what makes them stand out AND how to communicate that to their ideal customer.
