My career was born out of a personal turning point — a moment of uncertainty that ultimately led to purpose. At 19, I wasn’t sure which direction to take in life or in my career. I knew I had a passion for helping people share their stories, but I had no idea what that could look like. Later that year, I aimed to launch an online platform where young people from my community — and across the world — could showcase their God-given talents. It was a much bigger undertaking than I was prepared for at the time, but it later proved to be an invaluable learning experience and my ground floor. I developed skills in web design, graphic design, user experience, public speaking, and many others I employ on a daily basis. Through that journey — what some might have seen as a failure — I discovered my passion for marketing, design, and mapping customer journeys. Nine years later, that same passion fuels everything I bring to the table.
