I'm the founder of Grace Media Management, but more than anything, I'm a big dreamer who has always wanted to build a life that feels like my own.
I started GMM when I was 18 years old, right before I was supposed to head into my sophomore year of college. I had originally gone to school to study psychology, but somewhere along the way, I fell in love with marketing, especially the psychology behind why people connect with certain stories, brands, and ideas. So, I decided to drop-out of college, take a chance on myself, and see what life I could build for myself as a business owner! Spolier alert, it was the BEST decision I've ever made
Shortly after that, I began traveling full-time across the United States with my now-husband in our old truck that we converted to an overlanding set-up. We were figuring things out as we went, seeing as much of the country as we possibly could, and building a life around adventure, freedom, and experiences.
And somehow, in the middle of all of that, I was building GMM too.
There was something really special about starting a business while living that way. I didn't build GMM because I wanted a business that would eventually consume my entire life. I built it because I wanted the freedom to create a life I actually loved.
That belief has stayed at the heart of everything I do.
I believe your business should support the life you dreamed about when you started it. You shouldn't have to spend every waking hour buried in your business just to keep it moving forward. You should be able to step away, take the trip, spend the afternoon with your family, pursue the things that make you feel alive, and actually experience the life you're working so hard to create.
To me, that is one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself.
I've always had a deep sense of adventure. I want to see the world, have experiences, meet people, and hear the stories that make each of us who we are. Building a business has allowed me to do that, but it has also shown me how much I want other entrepreneurs to have that same opportunity.
That's a huge part of why I care so much about the work I do.
I don't just want to help you create better content or grow your social media. I want to help you build a brand that represents you, communicate the heart behind what you do, and grow your business in a way that gives you more freedom to actually live.
Because behind every business is a person who had a dream.
I've had the privilege of working with thousands of entrepreneurs and businesses across the United States, and one of my favorite parts of this work has always been getting to know the person behind the brand. What made them start? What do they believe in? Who are they trying to help? What does success actually look like for them?
Those stories matter.
I believe good marketing should make people feel something. It should make a business feel human. It should help the right people see themselves in what you do and understand why your business exists in the first place.
And when we can take that story and turn it into a brand that reaches more people, grows your business, and gives you back some of your time, that's when I feel like we're doing something really meaningful.
My background may have started in psychology and health and wellness. I'm a NASM Certified Personal Trainer and Nutrition Coach, with specializations in Corrective Exercise and Performance Enhancement, but marketing and storytelling are where I've found my home.
I'm especially passionate about using those skills to support nonprofits and people doing meaningful work. I've always been drawn to stories, especially the ones that remind us how much we have in common with one another.
Ultimately, that's what I want GMM to be about.
Helping you feel seen. Helping your business feel like you. Helping your story reach the people who need to hear it. And helping you build something successful enough that you can step back from it sometimes and go live the life you built it for.
I took a chance on myself at 18, and GMM has taken me places I never could have imagined.
I'm still a dreamer. I'm still figuring things out. I'm still chasing big adventures.
And now, I get to help other people chase their dreams, too.
Let's 10X your impact, together.
I'm so glad you're here.
