When I was little...
...I boldly claimed to anyone who’d listen I wanted to drive a garbage truck when I grew up. Then, I moved to Wisconsin & declared I would be the next Green Bay Packers QB once Brett Favre retired.
No one ever told me "No" (or that girls don't play in the NFL), but soon after I found the Arts; hopes of being the next big name in football were passed along to Aaron Rodgers.
Ever since I've been immersed in creativity. Weekly weekend watercolor lessons and hand-made gifts for friends' birthdays filled any spare time. And falling in love with writing equaled a 150 page novel in 8th grade and eventually a minor in Creative Writing from a Big Ten school.
I've filled just as many notebooks with poems and free writing exercises as I have canvases with brush strokes and color.
I'm also practical....I make lists for my lists. I’ve played three sports since age three, and learned from a young age how to manage my time. Not to mention I hated losing...& still do; saying I'm competitive is an understatement.
I want to give my best all the time, in hopes of inspiring others to be better too. And not only am I a team player as a result, but I've come to believe that being a team player is at the center of any success. Because it's true when they say that two minds are better than one.
Therefore, it's safe to say I don’t fit into a traditional bubble. I'm an art director, but I'm really so much more. I'm a strategist. A writer. An artist. A competitor.
It's why I’m looking for people who could use a little more non-traditional in their everyday lives.
Plus, it means I'm never bored. And definitely not boring.
