Whether it’s fostering strategic relationships, creating a dynamic SEO plan, leading a branding project, or writing and shooting a video series; my purpose is to connect others through one of our most primal human communication tools, storytelling.
Mission driven storytelling starts here.
About me.
Over the last 10 years, I’ve gone from corporate solider to van life backpacker with camera in tow, to director of communications to remote working content guru. I’m a creative spirit who can tap into an analytical mindset. Show me data, then I’ll use organized trends to make things pretty and tell the story. I excel in community management and connecting companies to their network because I enjoy people and understanding how they think to produce stories that serve them what they need to know in order to connect with a brand or organization.
I’ve been called a creative swiss army knife. From the food and CPH space to ecommerce to wellness, non-profits, and tech start-ups my skillset spans a variety of industries with one thing in common… people.
