Multi-platform storyteller and strategist.

I know how to develop and create audience-centered, mission-focused stories that compel people to take action, and I have a range of interests and experience. Here’s a quick rundown:

  • Started my career in journalism as a news reporter and anchor — sharpened my skills in pitching ideas, writing stories, shooting and editing video, and presenting the finished product on-air and online

  • Decided to take my talents to nonprofit marketing, which led to a transition into the tech industry — specifically user experience (UX) strategy — and I learned best practices in website design and search engine optimization (SEO), identifying audience needs, compelling people to take action, and encouraging continuous engagement

  • Picked back up with reporting—this time as a freelance journalist and brand writer. Some of the outlets I’ve published work with — Blavity, Inc., Faithfully Magazine, GoodRx, The Daily Beast, Wix, and High Ground News.

  • Turned a creative interest — podcasting — into professional experience and have several commissioned projects under my belt as a producer, host, and editor

  • Went back to school several years after earning a Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts in Journalism — I’m working on a Doctor of Liberal Studies in Strategic Storytelling and a Graduate Certificate in Multimedia Storytelling

TL;DR?

I have a lot of experience in producing media for different platforms to help thought leaders, visionaries, entrepreneurs, small business owners, nonprofit teams, and media companies speak to their audiences and work toward business goals. Contact me to chat about what you want to do.
