I’m at my best when surrounded by collaborative people with active imaginations who won't shy away from big ideas. Throughout my career, I have been hired to tell the stories of nonprofit organizations, local businesses, restaurants, and independent brands.
I am especially knowledgeable about the hospitality and nonprofit public relations and marketing, as well as SaaS product launches and install base communication strategies that translate technical feature info into compelling value propositions and messaging.
I’m eager to work with organizations and businesses that support sustainable food systems and increase equity for Black communities, people of color, women, LGBTQ+ people, and intersections thereof.
You can find me taking photos of nostalgic moments, planning my next trip, putting together free community popup dinners with my partner, or reading through my book lists.

I’ve been working in marketing and communications since 2014, when I earned my bachelor’s degree in journalism and mass media and was hired by Washington State University. Most recently, I’ve been working fully remotely as the in-house Marketing Manager at a SaaS company.
I landed my first PR job after approaching Karrie Leung at Soho House in Chicago. KLPR is a full-service boutique public relations and marketing agency with clients ranging from chef-driven concepts to luxury hotels. I was responsible for media relations and helping execute national campaigns for clients including Ruxbin, Lula Cafe, Daisies, Eataly, GreenCity Market, and many more.
After leaving Chicago to return to the Pacific Northwest, I was hired as the Marketing manager for a small town food cooperative. In this role, I directly served Palouse producers and families affected by food insecurity, and spent my time marrying my love for local food with strategic communications, graphic design, and community outreach.
