I've always loved a good story. ​

​

Starting as a doe-eyed entertainment journalist in Los Angeles, I found inspiration everywhere I looked and listened. I interviewed movie makers and chronicled rising rock stars, from backstage to on-set. I was a freelance contributor to Premiere, Rolling Stone, and Request, as well as the Managing Editor for Entertainment@Home magazine. I shared all news that was fit to print. 

 

I transitioned to creating content and marketing for board games while holding staff positions at Mattel and Cranium. Keeping with the game theme, I was a counselor at peace camps for kids in war zones. I wrote stories about these adventures and guest lectured at elementary schools and colleges alike. Since cultivating community is one of my love languages, it even landed me on magazine and in a book, Europe from a Backpack. 

​​

When Seattle's tech scene beckoned, I took on leadership roles at Classmates and Allrecipes. I infused my emotional intelligence with the artificial intelligence of Expedia Group's conversation platform. Most recently, I powered self-expression, connection, and play for Meta Reality Labs. 

​

​As a consultant, I roll up my sleeves—and even my pants—to wade through branding, messaging, and design jams for all clients. 

​

I keep those pants rolled up most weekends digging in the dirt, harvesting delight, and cooking with the seasons. And when I'm not globetrotting to see humpback whales, I'm hitting a local trail with my family, including our tireless Mini Australian Shepherd.
