Now that we have the formalities out of the way, forget my professional persona for a sec. Get to know me as a person:
1. The earliest creative decision I can remember making was in 2007 when I chose my first ever screen name. I went with “rkgstargirl.”
2. I currently live in New York but was born and raised in Ohio. The longer I’m away from the Midwest, the easier it gets to romanticize it. I never thought I’d find myself yearning for cornfields, but it happens occasionally.
3. I love to engage with my generation’s sense of humor and craving for authenticity. You might recognize my fam from this viral TikTok (39M+ views).
