What began as a passion project has grown into one of Cleveland’s most beloved book clubs, hosting monthly gatherings of 100+ readers, curated reading lists, and creative literary events that blend conversation, culture, and connection.As Founder & CEO, I manage all aspects of operations including event planning, branding, social media strategy, community engagement, vendor partnerships, operations and merchandise design. I lead with creativity, empathy, and vision—always focused on building an inclusive space where books bring people together in meaningful ways.Highlights:• Scaled monthly attendance from 10 to 200+ attendees in under 18 months• Designed and launched a signature “Silent Reading Night” series and pop-up literary events• Built a highly engaged community through authentic digital storytelling and grassroots marketing through instagram posts and reels• Representing the club at local wellness and women-in-business summitsClegalsBookClub isn’t just about reading—it’s about belonging.
