About me

A storyteller raised on community, coffee, and a really good playlist.

Fair warning: I'm a deeply unserious person. The work, though — that part I take very seriously.

For the last decade, I've worked at the intersection of community, advocacy, and storytelling — coordinating youth-centered programs, producing events, and building spaces where people (especially young people) feel safe enough to lead.

My background spans nonprofit program coordination, higher education, and content creation — from facilitating workshops on leadership and identity, to producing podcasts and digital campaigns, to a viral Reel that somehow ended up on the Today Show. The throughline is care: for the people in the room and the story being told.

I work best with mission-driven teams, founders, and brands who lead with heart. If that's you, I'd love to hear about it.

Featured Work

A handful of things I'm proud of.

Podcasts, video, viral moments, and a few quiet wins in between.
