About Me
I am an advertising addict, travel enthusiast, and aspiring photographer who enjoys editing pictures, reading in the sunshine, and jogging outdoors. I also love to cook and am in the process of putting together my own cookbook! I was raised in the small beach town of Manzanita, OR. I have since studied in Aarhus, Denmark, graduated with BS in both Marketing and Business Administration and worked in several positions in which I have gained valuable experience and grown professionally.
