In My Own Words
I’m a visual storyteller with 20+ years of experience in content, design, marketing, social media management, and photography. As cliché as it sounds, I wear a crazy number of hats (though I’m more of a laser-focused type of person).
I thrive on finding the bridge between creativity and strategy, creating compelling content that engages, delights, and builds true connection. I'm passionate about supporting people and organizations who live to give back and build up their communities.
I'm a self-starter, curious, collaborative, deeply observant, insanely reliable and resourceful. I live to support others in their success and help bring their visions to life.
I’m a forward thinker: able to bring fresh ideas and perspectives to other people’s work that makes them see what they do in a new light.
My experience has made me versatile and well-rounded and has provided me with a more empathetic perspective and wider outlook on various needs, challenges, and priorities within an organization. Tapping into these super powers is how I personally plan to elevate humanity through creativity and human connection.
Let’s make something meaningful together.
