Our Story

In high school, I studied Judicial & Global Affairs then went straight into college to begin my criminal justice studies. I knew that having a military background would be beneficial in that field, and would fulfill another professional interest. A week after my 20th birthday, I enlisted in the Indiana Army National Guard knowing that I could make a difference in both my community and the country. While juggling a newborn with active orders, I finally completed my Bachelor of Science in 2011 with anticipation to move on to Homeland Security. However, due to an unfortunate training accident, I was medically discharged in 2014 and had to revamp my career focus. It was a bit rocky at first, especially since I could no longer perform physically, so I began working in the restaurant industry, but was quickly given responsibilities outside of my bookkeeping role, which included start-up ventures from the restaurant's owner. It was during that time marketing entered my life. After a short stint there, I moved on to become a grant supervisor assisting veterans that needed a hand up. That time was so rewarding and I absolutely loved it. While I was disappointed that funding for this program ran out, I was blessed to be promoted to be promoted as the Director of Communications where I could continue assisting Hoosier veterans and their families. While the numbers leaped with the marketing initiatives I set in place or assisted with, I knew that there was much more to learn and went back to school to focus on marketing. In 2021, I graduated from SNHU with my Master of Science in Marketing. Some of the agencies that I have worked in as an employee or contractor were not cuttin it for me. It could’ve been the interactions with clients, the operations, or simply my desire to have something of my own. Knowing that I would never truly be satisfied until I had that, the brainstorming began. I wanted a deep involvement with my clients that superseded what they may have been accustomed to with other marketing agencies they were with. With that, 52M was born. It’s representative of my height (5'2). I am your marketing! Thinking outside the octagon is a common phrase my husband has used to describe these initiatives, both personal and professional, that I embark on. The same vibrancy I bring to your interactions is the same passion I put into my strategic efforts to help your business flourish, allowing you to live your dreams. 52M was created out of inspiration to break free from the constraints of traditional agencies. Having a variety of professional experiences, I’ve set out to create a new kind of marketing experience — one that prioritizes personalization, creativity, transparency, and results. Outside of work, I love spending time with my family, cooking, and enjoying life! That could be anywhere from playing at the arcade to fishing. Marketing should be fun. So let’s do it together! I’m continuously looking for ways to expand my horizons and look forward to growing and making magic with you.
