Meet a Content & Creative leader who connects brand, pipeline, and people 

This is the work I love.

I’ve spent a decade writing copy for businesses and non-profits—across B2C and B2B brands—shaping websites, ads, product names, mobile apps, software copy, and content for both print and web.

Over the past 10 years, I’ve led creative across industries: customer storytelling at Zendesk, luxury experiences at IfOnly, publishing at Blurb, and fintech at Glia. My portfolio spans website rebuilds, content libraries, brand campaigns, and executive thought leadership. I’ve managed writers, designers, and cross-functional partners, mentoring teams that scaled capacity and reach. The campaigns we delivered generated millions in pipeline, built visibility in top-tier media, and gave growing organizations the creative infrastructure to succeed.

Before marketing, I spent 7 years teaching high school—and it still shapes how I lead. I’m hands-on with creative craft but equally invested in growing teams. I break down complex ideas, build systems for clarity, and mentor creatives to do their best work. My style blends high standards with a collaborative, supportive approach that helps people thrive.

I’ve been fortunate to learn from great managers and mentors, and it’s a privilege to pay that forward. I’m known for enthusiasm, humor, originality, and quick wit. I value trust, energy, and helping people feel seen.

I connect people through creative style, systems, and story.
