“Underage girls” are children. 

That’s all. 

That’s my post.

Ever wonder what people really say about you when you’re not in the room? 🤔 

An interesting interview question, because the best definition of brand is, "What do people say about you when you're not in the room?"

Instead of guessing, I decided to actually find out!

So I asked my peeps what words pop into their heads when they think about me and here’s just a smidgen of what they said:
(Yes, I made a word cloud. Because marketing!! 💯 )
 
💬 Your turn:
What’s one or two words you’d add to my word cloud?
... Or tag someone who needs a little extra marketing magic on their team because, if you haven’t heard yet: I’m open to work and on the lookout for my next adventure in Marketing, Brand Strategy, or Content Creation 👀 

I’m that mix of creative spark ⚡️ + strategic precision 🎯 that helps companies grow smarter and louder. I turn “we should probably do marketing” into “wow, this is working!!”

If your team needs someone who can build the plan and make the magic happen, then let’s chat 🪄
