For as long as I can remember, I’ve always been fascinated by storytelling. 

Growing up in Joliet, IL, I began modeling as a teen and was enthralled by collaborative efforts to create fashion. After college I worked in the entertainment business at Will Smith’s production company, then as Matt Damon’s assistant, and after, for the Tribeca Film Festival. I felt at home in these creative nomadic environments, and would eventually attend photography school at the International Center of Photography, in New York, and go on to show at galleries in New York. I subsequently worked for the Pulitzer-prize winning photo department of the Rocky Mountain News in Denver, CO, and eventually was published in the Denver Post. Also while in Colorado, I shot for Boulder’s live music show, eTown.org, where I had the great honor of photographing Mavis Staples. 

After earning my masters degree, I won Harper’s Bazaar’s first Fabulous At Every Age contest, published my first of two novels, and launched my former online beauty store. I met my beauty idol, Bobbi Brown, and her team trained me as a makeup artist, which I would do for years. 

I also earned a Feature Film Certificate in Screenwriting from UCLA, and have written a feature screenplay, a Ted Lasso spec script, and two tv pilots, both of which are semi-finalists in ScreenCraft’s 2025 TV Pilot competition. As a model, I’ve been on the cover of Vogue Knitting magazine, and published essays in UK-based Suitcase and Vogue Knitting magazines. My creative endeavors garnered great press along the way, landing me on The Today Show, and in Marie Claire and Glamour magazines, among others. 

Being a creative entrepreneur and helping domestic and global brands and individuals understand their why and tell better stories is the core concept of Faint Services Group. I have been fortunate to travel the world and one thing that connects us all is storytelling. Everyone has a story to tell and Faint Services Group is here to help you tell yours effectively.
