Hopefully you’ve been following along for my 2017 #IndyZoob journey! It started here, as I worked to get noticed, and got really exciting here when I found out I was selected to cover animal conservation. It’s been an amazing couple of weeks revising the zoo (animal photos and videos on Instagram), and last night the event finally arrived! Continue reading

#IndyZoob choose me!
The Indianapolis Zoo Zoobilation returns this June and tickets are already sold out! Luckily, for me, an old boss (turned mentor) reached out with a tip that the Indianapolis Zoo is searching for Street Tweet Team members, and after some investigating I learned there’s only one thing that qualifies you: a creative reason why!

Local spotlight: Firebelly.
Let’s be honest, if there’s one thing we’re all short on these days, it’s time. Between the constant emails, endless meetings and stack of things we need to get done on any given day, it’s hard to find a few moments to read for leisure. But, that doesn’t make it any less important to the creative process! Continue reading
New manager alert.
I’m just over three months into my current role, and about seven into my career as a whole. I say all that to bring attention to the fact that I’m relatively new into the management part of my career. So, today I thought I’d share five things I’ve learned while managing my team, with hopes that my tips will be helpful for the future managers of tomorrow. Continue reading
Prepped and ready.
Over the last few weeks, life has very much been in transition! Embarking on the new job and the new normal around the house, it’s like the weeks have been flying by. Unfortunately, that also means that my schedule’s been off some. I don’t know if you’re anything like me, but when things are busy and life seems to be in between phases, the first thing I lose focus on is my fitness and nutrition! It’s a horrible habit, and now that I’m about a month in, I’m ready to add another layer and start prioritizing my physical activity and my meal plan. So, with President’s Day off, today was the perfect day to get prepped and ready! Continue reading
Business that makes a difference.
Things have been in quiet in my neck of the woods lately. Okay, okay, maybe quiet isn’t the right word, but as I’ve been transitioning into my new office and role, things have appeared quiet on the blog front. But today I was inspired, and it’s my hope, this post will leave you inspired, too! Continue reading
Two kinds of girls.
I’m starting to believe there are two kinds of girls in this world. I’m not sure if it’s due to attitude, circumstance, or experiences we’ve witnessed, but I am sure that these two types of women couldn’t be more different from each other. Continue reading
#NationalHeartMonth.
Today I learned two important things: 1. I don’t have many red clothing items in my wardrobe. 2. #NationalHeartMonth is about so much more than the color red.
Easing in.
So it’s been a little over a week since my first day in my new role (if you missed the news, catch up here), and it’s been such an amazing first few days! It’s not every day you get to return to a company that you not only loved working for, but also loved the people you were working alongside. Since my first day back in the building I’ve been flooded with congratulations, positivity and assistance as I work to get up to speed. But this transition into the promotions director role has been really enlightening for a few different reasons. While I anticipated switching industries and positions would have its challenges, I’ve already picked up on a few imperative skills that are helping make said switch as seamless as possible. So in this post I’d like to share some of my biggest lessons learned thus far. No matter the industry or the position you’re stepping into, I think these tips will be helpful for all!
