Putting the Me in Resume
The algorithms fueling the digital job market are impersonal and arbitrary. I had to find a different, more effective way to introduce myself and shoot my shot. So I googled how to make a website and here it is.

communications captain
I graduated from the University of Kansas with Communications major and a minor in Anthropology. My education and professional work experience with diverse groups of people has helped me to continue to evolve my expert communication skills.
A people's person
I like people and people like me. I am relatable, respectful, honest, very funny, and make it a priority to actively listen as much as I talk. I am warm, welcoming, and eager to engage with new people and continue to learn new things.
the quietly creative type
Flexing my creative muscles keeps me connected and current in a world that changes with every blink. Reading, writing, listening to music or podcasts, taking photos, or simply just enjoying time with myself - these are a few examples of the "creative cardio" I do to keep up and stay inspired.
Always learning more
As an older millennial, I appreciate and utilize instant information. The world before the internet or Google meant foraging for information to find answers, taking up valuable time. Now I can learn new things (like how to make this website) in less than a day, continuing to successfully expand my knowledge and skill sets, while helping make me more well rounded personally and professionally.
Beauty really is everywhere
All the cool photos used on this website were taken by me.
