I grew up in Europe and made Chicago my home after graduating with a B.A. in English Editorial from Northwestern University. In Chicago, I co-owned a special event marketing firm, Paint Me A Party, and have worked for various nonprofit organizations. For twelve years I was director of digital content, public relations, and communications for Florida-based Catalogs.com, the world’s largest online shopping portal. Prior to joining KBT Realty, I was director of development and communications for the Wilmington nonprofit LINC, Inc. I earned my Certified Webmaster at Florida Atlantic University, and have achieved various Google AdWords certifications. In my spare time, I manage my passion project - the website Port City Foodie - and haunt the awesome antique and consignment stores in the Cape Fear area.
