What do you do?
I help clients to tell their stories to help build brand awareness, trust and enhance reputation. As a former journalist, I have a passion for helping clients unearth compelling stories and nuggets that will differentiate them. Delivering stories that matter requires unique insights, creativity and the ability to break through a crowded marketplace – driven by longstanding relationships with reporters and the influencer communities.

What’s one thing fun or surprising/unexpected about you?
I love community service and helping others. In the summer of 2023, I traveled to rural West Virginia (with high school students and other adults) to work with the Appalachia Service Project, a non-profit that helps repair homes for underserved populations in central Appalachia. My group’s task with to put up siding on a house to ensure a drier and warmer house for a family. While it was challenging at first (and after failing a lot), I learned new skills and it was satisfying to see the fresh siding up which gave the home a whole new look.
The best part of the trip was stepping out of my comfort zone and doing hard work which will positively impact an impoverished family. I also learned a lot from the kids in my group who were collaborative, great problem-solvers and a lot of fun. I am looking forward to participating in this service trip again!
