My Story

I enjoy leading creative teams, finding innovative solutions to problems, and discovering and sharing extraordinary stories of ordinary people to motivate, inspire, and affect change in my community. I have more than 18 years of experience in media and pitching to media, on camera and behind the camera, interviewing and being interviewed, copywriting and copyediting, designing and overseeing design, creating content and planning content, coordinating the budget and developing a budget strategy, and teaching and being taught. I am attracted to challenge, creativity, authenticity, vibrant energy and organization. As such, a pattern has emerged in my career: every job has either been a new position in which I was the first person to fill it and, thus, required experimentation and structure or I created a new position and/or division after identifying an organizational need. Every position and organization is unique and I use each opportunity to learn, grow and leave it better than when I arrived.
