Strategic Communications Manager, Marketer & Writer

For the past decade, I've worked in strategic communications and marketing, helping mission-driven organizations connect with their communities.

I've led multichannel marketing campaigns, built content strategies, and developed stories that move people to action. Most recently, at California State Parks Foundation, I helped drive campaigns that contributed to $37 million in fundraising and brought more than 80,000 new members into the organization.

What I enjoy most is finding the compelling angle—whether that's a personal story or a major win—and translating it into communications that inspire action.

On the personal side… I grew up as a Memphian, became a New Orleanian, and for the past decade I’ve been in San Francisco, a city I love and am endlessly inspired by. Somewhere in between, I resided in Glacier National Park — I told you I was a fan of swimming in cold waters!

I love walking as a form of transit, seeing live music, buying too much of whatever fruit is in season, hiking in the Eastern Sierras, eating at restaurants in the middle of nowhere, and generating at least 4 nicknames for any pet I meet.
