About

Naturally curious. Relentlessly proactive.

I’m a communications professional who believes in the power of thoughtful storytelling to connect people with the causes and organizations they care about.

My background spans strategic communications, content development, digital marketing, social media, and community engagement — with a consistent through-line of mission-driven work. I’ve written for nonprofits, university research centers, and a campus sustainability program, and the common thread is always the same: taking work that matters and making it legible to the people who need to understand it.

What I’m actually good at is noticing the gap. I identify a need, develop a thoughtful approach, and see it through from idea to execution — which is how a communications strategy became a food drive program, and how a calendar full of empty weeks became a monthly newsletter that donors look forward to.

I’m currently the Communications Manager at Tempe Community Action Agency, a nonprofit serving Tempe residents facing hunger, homelessness, and poverty.
