Things You Won't Find on My Resume

Curious

Self-starter

As legit as it gets - we created an LLC!

Found Haus Co. is the pandemic brainchild of my colleague-turned-best friend, Natalie, and I - an online store specializing in unique vintage and secondhand goods.

As a powerhouse team of two, we did it all - from sourcing and comp set/market research to creating a brand and managing marketing, inventory, event planning (markets, stoop sales) and customer service.

Pursuer of Playful Challenges

First-time sprint triathlons, picking up pickle ball, self-taught clay throwing - I love taking on a challenge for the thrill of it.

For a time, I created e-blasts for a fun, tongue-in-cheek passion project - Cool Food News, a quarterly(-ish) newsletter that subscribed my inner circle to the weirdest and most fun updates food culture had to offer. Purely for the enjoyment of creating.
