"Want to work for Accenture? Think like an entrepreneur—and be ready to jump in feet first."
What I do
I help companies around the world understand the digital landscape, the strategic role of content and how they should leverage both to tell their product or service story. I was drawn to Accenture Digital because of the company’s strong commitment to inclusion and diversity, the plethora of great clients and the exciting promise and growth of digital technology.
A day in my life
One particularly exciting project was for a global food and beverage company seeking digital transformation. We facilitated a “digital safari” for the executive leadership team that included market tours, curated conversations with startup founders, design-thinking workshops and so much more. It was truly a team effort that wowed the clients by showcasing the best of Accenture and our spirit of innovation in the digital space.
Most of my free time is spent with my 9-year-old son. We live out loud and can be found dancing at a festival, eating at a food truck event, riding our bikes along the Silver Comet Trail or cheering on our beloved Atlanta sports teams. By night I work on interior design projects, turning houses into chic, yet functional places to live. I’m also passionate about empowering women, mentoring, diversity and inclusion and giving back. I spend time volunteering and assisting with community events and fundraising whenever possible.
