What I Do
With the uncommon ability to both dream up new things and actuate on them to completion, I’ve developed a knack for working and collaborating in cross-functional contexts as a detailed builder, sharp designer, and intuitive strategist.
Equally at home in the minute details and the big-picture horizons, I’ve built an excellent track record in digital communications, website management and design, and internal systems/process design.
I’m a left- and right-brained thinker, deeply creative and acutely analytical, which allows me to see the world and solve problems in a uniquely effective way. I moved from Nashville, TN to Chicago, IL in 2025.
After years of working with nonprofits, I’ve developed a true servant heart, preferring organizations with a strong mission behind them. It brings me joy knowing that my work will always have a higher purpose.
