Prior to starting my career in marketing, my background was in finance and real estate where I worked at a handful of Fortune 100 companies such as The Boston Consulting Group and Berkshire Hathaway. During the later half of my college career, I decided to trade in my Excel spreadsheets for Photoshop and pursued the other half of my finance and marketing degree. Though the initial goal was just to make some extra money to get myself off the good ole ramen noodle diet, I ended up finding a career path that I loved.

After graduating at the beginning of the pandemic in 2020, I found myself in a difficult position. All of my job offers had been rescinded due to COVID and I was left with no choice but to start from square one. That’s when I decided to marry my passions for marketing and fashion and began selling clothes online. Throughout this time, I was showcasing my journey on social media and began to attract the attention of various business owners who asked me to lead their marketing efforts. This marked the beginning of my agency, Midmay Marketing, and now years later I’m proud to say I get to wake up and do what I love every day.

What are you most looking forward to in your 40s? 

Absolutely everything! What’s not to look forward to? Now in my 20s, I have no idea what I’m doing half the time. But your 40s? Honestly, I think it’s the age I look forward to most! Your 40s are a time when you know who you are, what you want, and how to get it with the confidence only experience gives you. What I love the most about The Midst is the team of GALs kicking butt and taking names every day. They are mothers, business owners, wildly talented writers, and highly decorated career women disrupting what it means to be in your 40s. Everyday I’m reminded of the strength, wisdom, and pure bad*ss behavior that comes with being 40 and I can’t wait to experience the years to come.
