CONNECT WITH JARET

Fashion, lifestyle, & pop culture aficionado with a growing tenure in marcomm & education (former tech & fashion-retail). Over the past few years, I have realized that my love for sharing from enterprise to consumer as a former marcomm associate has stemmed from my multi-hyphenate ways of sharing/fostering community. I innately love sharing insights, perspective, while indulging in conversation whether within my community, colleagues, and students. All in all, I'm someone who truly enjoys acquainting friends of the house with people and things worth knowing.
