My hands have always been in a lot of projects and I’m always trying and testing new things. It’s a big reason why I’ve never had it easy telling folks what I do. The most concise explanation I can give you is that I’m a Filmmaker, a Risk-taker, and a Cake-Baker… which is exactly what I put on my business card.
What I’ve done before:
I’ve had a lot of identities over the years: A marketer, a mother, a wife, a barista, a model, a fashionista, an entrepreneur, a creatives coach, a cocktail waitress, a truck driver, a college dropout, a mensa member, an interested participant in life.
What I’m Doing Now:
Currently I’m working on turning my award winning documentary short, Life In Perpetual Beta, into a series, writing a book about what it took to make it, and any one of the following things:
Running a small video production company: The Optimist Lens
Connecting entrepreneurs to executive level virtual assistants: Anywhere Admin
Organizing a conference designed to help people pitch effectively: Pitch Conference
Managing online communities for the Social Media boutique Strategy JQ
Advising at the start-up incubator Sandbox Industries, and the not for profit, Hollaback.org
Organizing the Chicago Women Developers Meet-up
When I’m not doing any of the above you can find me speaking at events, crashing private parties, making art out of duct tape, and discovering the wonders of Chicago with my three precocious children.
What I Plan on Doing in The Future:
I value opportunity much more than I value plans. If you have an opportunity you want to discuss with me, drop me an email or send me a tweet.
