After this, she went on to become the Senior designer on the marketing team at Medefy Health. Here she collaborated with the sales, CS and product teams to expand the company’s brand by building a visual system, creating assets+collateral within that system, and art directing junior designers on the team. In January of 2025, she left Medefy to start her own freelance design business. This opened the opportunity to seek out new projects and collaborate with new clients, which led her to The Comets - where she started out as a seasonal employee at the beginning of the 2025 season and is now the creative services manager on the marketing team.

When she is not hidden behind a computer screen, she loves playing ukulele, getting coffee with friends, running long distances (11 half marathons and 1 full marathon down so far!), or going on adventures outdoors. Even in her personal life she is driven and creative, and there are few things she loves more in this world than a sharing a bowl of popcorn, hanging out with her golden retriever Gryffin, and curating a playlist for every mood.
