About Me
My background
Born in Boston and raised just over the Massachusetts border in Pelham, NH, I grew up immersed in a vibrant community. Excelling in sports, academics, art, music, and business, I developed a well-rounded skill set from a young age.
Even as a student, I made waves in the professional world, working as a phone operator for a top New England real estate firm. This ignited my ambition to pursue a career in management and marketing.
After graduating, I eagerly returned to Boston and enrolled at Fisher College, where I honed my business and marketing skills. I also co-founded an acapella group and became a student senator, balancing academics with extracurriculars.
Launching my career at Funny Girl Designs, I quickly rose to a leadership role, leveraging my entrepreneurial spirit and logistical expertise to refine revenue-generating programs. This experience solidified my passion for driving business growth.
In 2015, I made a meaningful decision to move to Cambridge, tracing my ancestral roots. Joining The Grommet, a startup supporting small businesses, felt like a homecoming and aligned with my values.
A turning point came when I joined Gemvara, a dream opportunity where I assisted customers in designing custom jewelry. As Gemvara underwent an acquisition, I expanded my role to encompass finance, marketing, and engineering, revolutionizing our customer relationship management approach.
In 2021, I founded The Smart Dresser, a pioneering wardrobe consulting business focused on sustainability, body positivity, flexibility, and accessibility. In 2022, I opened Star Parlor, offering unique hair accessories for all ages and genders.
Embracing my artistic talents, I ventured into freelance graphic design work in 2023, supporting local businesses and political candidates. This fulfilling endeavor allowed me to showcase my skills and make a meaningful impact.
With a rich tapestry of experiences and a relentless drive for success, I continue to forge my path, seeking new opportunities to leave a lasting mark on the business and creative world.
The real me
I'm an adventurous and curious person, always seeking new experiences. My competitive drive pushes me to excel in various areas of life. Creativity and self-expression are essential to me, whether through the arts or problem-solving. With a disciplined mindset, I strive for personal growth and achievement. Being sociable and engaging, I enjoy connecting with others and building meaningful relationships.
Things I love
As a passionate community builder, I prioritize supporting local businesses and fostering connections with my neighbors. I recently earned my green belt in taekwondo and am so grateful for the friends I've made in my local dojang. I also find joy in exploring new arcades, and playing pinball competitively. I express my creativity through painting, sewing, and crafting. I also like playing my ukulele, singing, and, most recently, participating in the local comedy scene with original songs. My diverse interests fuel my commitment to building a vibrant and interconnected community.
