Born and raised in Richmond, Virginia, I am in constant pursuit of creativity. I love to tell stories of those special communities where history, architecture, food and design are all flourishing; places where people are doing really positive and genuine things.

Things that matter most to me are world-class brand management, teaching at the VCU School of Business, entertaining my friends and family, empathy-based innovation, practicing studio art, learning the science of olfactory, volunteering with TEDxRVA and helping VA agritourism. My core value is inclusion and I support diversity.
