I love finding ways connect audiences to powerful emotions, compelling narrative, and foundational symbols. From the commercial to the creative, from books to brands, I have award-winning experience crafting stories across industries in both private and nonprofit sectors.

As a writer and strategist, my work is dedicated to identifying challenges, generating solutions, and then implementing those solutions creatively.

A Bit About Me

  • I regularly make friends with trees and neighborhood cats

    • (cats love me – I hope the trees do too)

  • I’m a vegetarian/aspiring vegan

    • (yes, I really do love kelp burgers)

  • I grew up in Illinois, but I call the Northwest home

    • (“I’m only happy when it rains”)

  • I have an MFA in Creative Writing

    • (you can check out my fiction, but please don’t ask about my unfinished novel)

  • Fall is my favorite season

    • (Halloween!)

  • I love to read

    • (favorite genres: sad beautiful novels, queer feminist fairy tales, memoirs written by poets, books about plants, quirky takes on storytelling)
