I lead and support strategic communications campaigns, public relations, civic and community engagement, business development, and tactical advisement across our portfolio of projects and clients to maximize opportunities for community development that support initiatives with social, environmental, and economic impacts.

I have cultivated a career around public service, leadership, community, and relationship building. My passion for sustainability, nature, and creating pathways to opportunities manifests in my desire to partner with organizations and individuals to work for long-term change that creates more equitable outcomes for communities and breaks down historically unjust social structures.

As a high-energy, collaborative communications professional with more than 20 years of experience, I have supported companies with strategic planning, media relations, crisis communications, brand management, website content and strategy, multimedia content creation, executive positioning, and public engagement. My career began as a transportation officer in the U.S. Army, where I was stationed in Germany and deployed to the Iraq war, operating as a convoy commander throughout Kuwait and Iraq.

I graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Graphic Design from Washington University in St. Louis on a full ROTC scholarship. I have graduated with Leadership Bend’s Class of 2025, earned a Leadership Communication Certificate from the Public Relations Society of America, and completed a High Potential Diverse Leaders course for nonprofits.
