My Marketing Journey

It started when I was a kid with a lemonade stand and too much ambition. I didn’t stop at lemonade, I used the money I made to buy a snowcone machine, then a cotton candy machine, then a popcorn maker. I made signs, got my friends to help, and set up shop on the corner like it was a full-blown business.

Since then, I’ve always loved the creative side of selling something and getting people excited about it. That carried into my cookie business, where I designed labels, posted on social media, and figured out how to make my brand feel fun and personal. I didn’t realize it at the time, but I was learning how to market. And now, it’s something I genuinely love doing.

Why Marketing?

I’ve been online for as long as I can remember . Spending that much time on the internet taught me how people connect, what holds their attention, and what makes them scroll past. Over the years, I started to love the idea of turning a message into something that actually sticks. Marketing brings together creativity, communication, and problem-solving in a way that just clicks for me. It feels like the perfect space to take what I naturally do and turn it into a career.
