About

A career built around helping people see why something matters.

My path into digital marketing began with photography and visual storytelling, expanded through arts education and entrepreneurship, and evolved into strategic marketing for mission-driven organizations.

That mix gives me a broad view of the work. I can think about the campaign, write the story, shape the creative, understand the audience and keep the final execution connected to the larger goal.
