The only tragedy is to allow part of us to die –– whether it is our spirit, our creativity or our glorious uniqueness.

Maine Course always makes me feel like I am truly a part of this family. While it’s never been my goal to fit in, it’s nice to be in a company that allows me to be myself and flourish in a career that I love.
I was voted “most original” in junior high school, and I’ve always been seen as slightly “different” among my peers, which I think helps me keep things fun and new! I hope to help every individual on my team find his or her personal creativity, and let it shine through.
My other passion is animal welfare. It is something I feel very strongly about, and I work hard to try to make an impact. My husband and I are vegetarians so it plays a part of our daily lives—that and caring for our rescue dogs, Silas and Autumn!
