What to expect

Speaking: A 10-15 minute presentation storytelling my small business journey, followed by a Q+A or workshop. Ideal for students, business owners, and aspiring entrepreneurs.

About

I'm an entrepreneur that started my illustrated planner business in college and grew it to six figures while still in school. I have won various pitch competitions and was named the 2020 Iowa Student Entrepreneur of the Year. My business collectively has over 250,000 followers on social media and went viral over the course of several years.

Aside from my business, I have experience in vocal performance in classical, jazz, and musical theatre. I have eight years of vocal experience and majored with a Bachelor of Arts in Vocal Music and Iowa State University. I can play chordal piano, but prefer to have an accompanist.

Currently, I am working on my business full time and regularly guest speak for university classes and conduct workshops in the topic of entrepreneurship, small business, calligraphy + bullet journaling. My knowledge and expertise is inspiring among students, young business owners, and aspiring entrepreneurs!
