As Yelp's Orlando Community Director, my passion lies in creating, building, and engaging community online and offline.

Online, my specialty is digital marketing focused on hyper-local-love (ex: created theOrlandoan's #OrlandoDoesntSuck campaign with over 90,000 uses on Instagram alone, Yelp's 2015 #OrlandoMade promotion, etc). But engaging the community online is just the beginning. My role with Yelp allows me to focus on the magic that happen when you take a community off-line and introduce them to the local businesses/makers/artists that are changing their city.

You're looking at one of Orlando's biggest cheerleaders- so if you want to find out what locals are digging in Orlando, I'm your gal!
