About me

I KNOW HOW TO GET YOUR PROJECT DONE FAST AND RIGHT

As a long-time editor of a popular international magazine, I know how important it is to entrust your work to people who follow through on their promises. Our publication’s success was made possible by a team that consistently produced quality and compelling work—on deadline.

To earn and keep the trust of our sources and readers, it was critical that we listened—really listened. We didn’t quit until we knew we had told their stories with honesty and accuracy. That meant we worked collaboratively with our subjects, ensuring they recognized their own voice in their story and were proud to see it in print or video.

That’s the kind of get-it-right-and-on-time reliability I promise to you.

With more than 20 years of experience in features reporting and international nonprofit communications, I have spent my career helping everyday people identify their one-of-a-kind story, and tell it in a powerful and compelling way.

My experience includes

  • 5 years as a newspaper reporter and photojournalist;

  • 9 years as managing editor of an international magazine;

  • 4 years as communications strategist for an international nonprofit organization with constituents in 36 countries.

I am a collaborative storyteller, passionate about accuracy, excellence, and emotional, memorable narratives.

Everyone has a story. Let’s tell yours.
