I'm a marketing and communications strategist.
I work with people, places and platforms that elevate and transform
communities.
Combining passion and purpose
I work at the intersection of media and social impact to untangle complex problems, build strong brands and cultivate partnerships that help people see themselves reflected in the causes they support and in the content they consume.
​
The best thing my mother told me was that she was going to always let me voice my opinion. While that might have made my teenage years hell for her, she gave me the best gift a mother could give: a voice.
​​
I believe effective communicators are storytellers that know the power of words and their ability to bring together people and ideas on any platform.
​
Over the last decade, I've worked with socially conscious initiatives to leverage our collective wisdom and voices—developing strategic, actionable, and engaging ways to build and maximize our message and impact both online and in real life.
