I am a storyteller, an organizer, and an athlete.I like to share stories, especially from those who feel unheard. I get excited at the challenge of finding creative ways to share different perspectives and engage an audience. As early as I could remember, I was in love with the English language. I developed a knack for writing and found myself reporting for a newspaper in high school, starting an online publication in college, and learning from the best at Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism for graduate school. Before I knew it, I was trained in daily-deadline reporting, both behind and in front of the camera. I’ve reported from the White House and Capitol Hill on the forefront of some historic events. That was pretty amazing.
 It wasn’t long till I realized that I could also use those skills in marketing, and now I use them to elevate brands whose missions I believe in.I like to organize people, gatherings, and experiences. I get a thrill out of motivating a team and leveraging everyone’s skills to create a beautiful and impactful experience. This experience can be can an event, a campaign, or even a product. I have had the pleasure of collaborating with talented teams executing this kind of work for brands like Tough Mudder, Spartan Race, IFBB Professional League, Marine Corps Marathon, NBC Sports, Habitat For Humanity, United Nations, lululemon, among many more.I also love working out, even more, when I’m working out with the community. I run, bike, lift weights, and play golf. I constantly challenge myself to be faster, stronger, and perform better. I firmly believe that this athlete mindset and discipline that I show in having an active lifestyle translates directly to my ability to lead and encourage excellence in the workplace.My proudest achievement to date: Being the person people trust—the person they trust to solve problems; the person they trust to create great relationships; and ultimately, the person they trust to get something done well.Please feel free to message me with any thoughts or questions about my work—I’m always interested in making new professional connections.
