Welcome to my platform: a representation of all that I am.

​At first I was hesitant to add this page to my website because who I am today is not the same me that I will be tomorrow, or was yesterday. I realized that my blog, however, is a great place to showcase that. My writing ebbs and flows each day, along with what I choose to discuss and the way that my soul contributes. 

​

I am a recent graduate of Marquette University and have stayed in Milwaukee since. During my time at Marquette I wrote for a number of organizations and blogs, and am using this platform to continue the hobby post-grad. 

 

Currently, I bounce back and forth between beverage carting on a world-renowned golf course, and holding a PR internship in the city. Genuinely, I could not ask for anything better during this stage of my life. I am so happy.

​

I enjoy reading, coffee + pastries with friends, exploring Milwaukee and the world,  and for TV: Three's Company, the Packers and Modern Family. Over the last few years, I have a newfound passion for health and wellbeing. I am a certified 200-hour Registered Yoga Teacher and love moving my body in different ways. 

​

​The biggest aspect that I want people to take away from The Olive is its authenticity. This blog is a place where I truly focus on expressing myself through writing. I frequently try to block out the world and media around me and simply live, but it is crazy to think of how difficult that can be at times. Here I am raw and to solely be me. 

​

I am only 22 years old. The Olive was created for me to express what I've learned so far in my life that is still very young. Consider this as you read here and take away the thoughts of a young person in today's world.
