About

Hi there, I’m Autumn 👋🏼 I’ve always loved telling stories and finding creative ways to connect with audiences. That passion led me into social, where I’ve built my career developing strategy and content that turns big ideas into engaging, platform-native storytelling. I’ve worked across entertainment, nonprofit, hospitality, and SaaS B2B marketing — translating brand narratives, product updates, and insights into social-first campaigns that drive engagement and measurable impact. Now at Forbes, I focus on leading and evolving our social strategy. When I’m not working, you’ll find me getting emotional over dog rescue stories or hosting paint-and-sip sessions, because creativity doesn’t stop at work. Connect with me for conversations and inspo around social and building meaningful digital communities ✨
