I have always had a passion for writing and helping people and I thought that if I could use that passion to help people have a successful business that would be a dream come true. At the age 22 after suffering a stroke and had two subsequent brain surgeries as a result of a rare brain disease called Moyamoya Disease, I realized that in order to provide for my family and hold a job I needed to start my own business. I spent a few years working for a private investigator’s office as their director of sales and marketing. During this time, I figured out that I loved developing marketing plans and attending marketing events, so I set out to find a degree program that worked for me and found myself at Full Sail University. Here I graduated at the top of my class and completed my bachelor’s degree in digital marketing and went on to obtain my master’s in public relations. I have used what learned as a volunteer board member and social media committee member for the Moyamoya Foundation.
