About me
My passion and drive for success are grounded in my faith in Jesus Christ. Since I became a Christian, my focus has shifted from elevating personal success to serving and building up others, all for the glory of God. This passion has become instrumental in the way in which I tackle day-to-day responsibilities━even down to the nitty-gritty of pitching a press release or copywriting.
My goal, as I continue to grow in my career, is to honor and glorify God with my skills, talents, and abilities.
“Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men…You are serving the Lord Christ.”-Colossians 3:23
My current position
In May 2022, I started as a publicist at Baker Publishing Group, one of the largest independent Christian publishing companies. I enjoy working with authors and the media to build approachable, transparent, and trustworthy relationships.
Baker Publishing Group has six different divisions: Baker Books, Bethany House, Revell, Chosen, Brazos Press, and Baker Academic. I work with Baker Books and Revell specifically.
