Summary

Skilled in marketing, social media management, and brand development with over 8+ years of experience.

I often stay on top of pop culture and bookish trends which I apply to my social media work. I love staying up to date on the vast discussions unfolding in the book industry and usually the first to know at my bookstore what the latest buzz is on social media. I am a strong collaborator with the ability to adapt quickly. Teamwork is incredibly important to me. I genuinely love our industry and believe I can bring a deeply creative and caring energy to Bookshop.org.
