This past year has been filled with growth, learning, and so many people who invested in me along the way! ❤️ First, thank you to 4th & Heart for the incredible opportunity to intern with your team. Through this experience, I learned what it means to see through a marketer’s lens. A special thank you to Sarah Rockholt-Bullock for being such an incredible leader and marketer. Your guidance, creativity, and encouragement shaped so much of my learning. And thank you to Max Dichter for your vision and leadership. Watching how you build a brand with both purpose and excellence was inspiring, and it showed me the impact strong leadership can have on a growing company.

This organization means so much to me, and I’m proud to continue serving the Fort Worth community alongside such an incredible team. Grateful for my board, Nicklaus Utsey , Nayeli Santamaria , and Sheree Pollock for being the best team to lead with! 💛 And lastly… I have some exciting news!
