Hi there! I earned my Master’s in Journalism from Northwestern University in Chicago. My biggest passion lies in storytelling that sparks connection, captures attention, and makes people care. Whether I’m behind the camera, on the stage, or behind a screen, I’m drawn to stories with something to say—and to finding creative ways to bring those stories to life.

I thrive at the intersection of storytelling and strategy, bringing ideas to life through writing, design, social content, and digital storytelling. I love creating work that feels thoughtful and human while still being purposeful: content that connects with people, starts conversations, and stays with them long after they’ve seen it.

At the heart of everything I do is a simple belief: a good story can make people stop, feel, think, and see something differently. That’s the kind of work I want to create.

Some fun facts about me:

  • I grew up performing with StarStruck Theatre, a youth musical theatre group (I now help with their social media and events, and it’s been an honor to come full circle!). Musical theatre lights me up and keeps me connected to my community. I’m grateful to now be part of the Royal Theater Academy and to have the opportunity to perform with other professional regional groups around the Bay Area.

  • I am an avid rock climber, and I climbed competitively in high school and college! Now I coach the youth beginner teams at my home gym, and I absolutely love teaching kids how to climb.

  • I am a huge outdoor enthusiast. I enjoy hiking, camping, skiing and stand-up paddle-boarding. I love to be outside and go on outdoor adventures! One of my dreams is to visit every national park.

  • I love banana bread and I always make sure we have ripe bananas around.

The most important relationship you will ever be in is the one you are in with yourself.

Your body is your home. Love it. Embrace it. Nurture it.
