About Me

I’m a communications strategist and content creator with a background in public health, storytelling, and brand strategy. Originally from Alaska, I moved to the East Coast to study public health and film and media arts at American University, where I developed a strong foundation in translating complex information into clear, compelling narratives.

Since then, I’ve built a career producing and leading content across formats and supporting initiatives that require thoughtful strategy, audience awareness, and measurable impact. My work spans content strategy, copyediting, video editing, and design, with a focus on aligning storytelling with organizational goals and the needs of diverse audiences.

I hold a Master’s degree in Communication from Johns Hopkins University, where I deepened my expertise in branding, content marketing, and health communication. This training continues to inform how I approach my work: strategically, collaboratively, and with an emphasis on clarity, consistency, and long-term value.

Outside of work, you’ll likely find me exploring cafés around the DMV, reading for book club, or diving into a new creative hobby (most recently knitting).

I’m always open to connecting. If you’d like to learn more about my professional experience, feel free to download my resume or reach out using the form below.
