This blog is a manifestation of my essence, seamlessly blending my professional and personal facets. Your presence on this journey means the world to me, and I'm thrilled about the exciting chapters awaiting us. Buckle up for a ride through the curated realms of my personality—I can't wait to share what's on the horizon!

Personal Life

Hey there! I'm Catie, a small-town soul with big dreams and a heart that beats for making a positive impact. Born and raised in the cozy embrace of a wooded town in Northern New Jersey, I learned early on the joy of making a difference in the world. Whether it was lending a hand at town cleanup days or spreading smiles with compliments, I've always believed in the power of positivity.

My journey led me to West Virginia University, where I graduated in the spring of 2022. Following my heart, I embarked on a new adventure in Clearwater, FL, soaking up the sun and sea for over a year. Now, I find myself back in the familiar streets of my hometown, eagerly anticipating the twists and turns that life has in store.

In the tapestry of my life, you'll find threads of passion for hiking, crafting, and those endless scrolls through social media. Hanging out with friends is a must, and you'll catch me swaying to the tunes of country music. I have a soft spot for ice cream, avocados, and an unbreakable bond with my Squishmallow collection—because who can resist those adorable, squishy companions?

Life hasn't always been a walk in the park for me. I've faced challenges head-on, from the trials of school to navigating my way through my parent's divorce. Living with ADHD, anxiety, and panic disorder added layers of complexity, but I've turned those challenges into stepping stones.

Now, I'm on a mission. My goal is to connect with those who may be going through similar experiences and offer a helping hand through the platform I've built. Together, we can navigate the ups and downs, finding strength and resilience in shared stories.

So, welcome to my corner of the internet—a space filled with positivity, shared experiences, and the hope that we can make a difference, one smile at a time. Stick around, join the journey, and let's discover where life takes us next!

Professional Life

I’m a passionate graduate from West Virginia University with a degree in Digital Marketing Promotions, proudly tossing my cap in the spring of 2022.

Post-graduation, I embarked on a sunshine-filled journey to Clearwater, FL, where I immersed myself in the world of marketing as a dedicated assistant for a small business. For over a year and a half, I honed my skills, embraced challenges, and discovered the joy of bringing ideas to life in the ever-evolving realm of digital marketing.

Now, I've returned to my roots in Northern NJ, eager to contribute my knowledge and enthusiasm to a dynamic team. Currently on the lookout for opportunities in social media marketing/management, digital promotions, or a similar field, I'm excited to leverage my experience and creativity to make a meaningful impact.
