Associate in Marketing and Communications: I am originally a trained actor with over 10 years of stage experience with a penchant for writing and a love for marketing and communications. I love the association world and being a part of what makes this country operate on a day to day basis. I have a lot of experience working in the food justice and grant worlds, especially for the USDA. I have a 14lb dog named Strudel who is half-schnauzer-half-poodle, or a Schnoodle.
