About

I’m passionate about helping innovative brands tell compelling stories. As a lifelong writer and grammar freak, there’s nothing that makes me quite as excited as messaging that inspires. My experience spans a wide array of creative and strategic pursuits, from managing brand communications to academia. I delight in a new messaging challenge, and have been lucky to work cross-functionally with teams that have big aspirations. When I’m not whipping up the latest greatest narrative, I’m adventuring in my home base of Seattle — be it restaurants, ridge lines, or recreational soccer.
