DIRECTOR OF BRAND PARTNERSHIPS, AG CREATIVE

35 Under 35 Honoree - December 2022

How did you make your start in your profession?

The world of social media and influencer marketing has always been fascinating to me. As a once practicing content creator in the early 2010s, I worked with brands including Home Depot, Best Buy, and American Eagle. This was long before influencer marketing became what it is today. After becoming a mom, being a content creator fell to the wayside as I focused on balancing motherhood and my career at the time. When I was approached with the opportunity to help design and initiate the influencer marketing program for AGC, it was an absolute dream opportunity. I was able to take my hobby that I once loved so deeply and turn it into a profession something I couldn’t turn down.

Share with us a current topic or trend that you are concerned about at the local level?

While we have made great progress on the topic, there is still a large amount of work to be done when it comes to our Florida waters. The water quality and the way we are working to preserve our local ecosystems is something my family and I are very passionate about. The reason I moved to Florida was for the stunning beaches and the amazing creatures that reside in them. That is something I want to help preserve for not only my children and grandchildren but for multiple generations to follow.

What is your guilty pleasure? I watch way too much Bravo TV.

When things get tough, I just remember . . . “Leave What’s Heavy Behind” It’s a song by Birdtalker that I love. The lyrics speak to facing your fears and moving forward to bigger and better things. It’s often a song I listen to when I am having a bad day or just need the reminder.
