About

I’m a communicator working to develop clear and concise content that helps people to stay informed and make decisions that can impact their daily lives and the world in which they live. My expertise includes both internal and external communications, and I’ve worked on both the editorial and client side of communications. I pride myself on diplomacy strengthened through coalition-building, community outreach, and crisis communications. Colleagues have praised my work ethic, creativity, and commitment to getting the job done. Specific fields of interest include public health, outdoor recreation, and nonprofits. I am also a backpacker and volunteer trail guide with a passion for exploring nature, preserving wilderness, and encouraging others to achieve their outdoor adventure goals. I translate my outdoor skills into leadership, grit, and determination in the workplace.
