About Me

I’m a storyteller and communications strategist. I love taking on big challenges in different spaces—see my work with both a B2B tech startup and a New York City subway crisis. The common theme—my goal always is to build understanding and sustainable trust and relationships.

After earning my B.A. in Strategic Communications Studies and Psychology from Baldwin Wallace University in Cleveland, I spent the next eight years in the tech industry. This included helping a startup grow to reach an eventual exit to Oracle, where I joined the corporate communications team.

I then moved to New York City and was recruited to join Edelman, the world’s largest public relations consultancy. During that time, I partnered with a range of clients in the tech and public sectors.

I also was selected to Coro Leadership New York, a civic-focused training program and network designed to empower systemic change in the city—and the catalyst which turned my focus to the public sector. The MTA New York City Transit was facing down a major subway reconstruction project, and I took the challenge to enable 275,000 daily New Yorkers to get through it safely and with more trust in the agency once completed.

My other great passion is building teams and empowering individuals to do what drives them. I’ve led teams from two to two hundred, from in-person to globally dispersed.

I enjoy personal essay writing, cycling, anything to do with urban design and trying to figure out what my toddler is thinking.
