About Me
I’m a creative media professional with a background in journalism, a love of storytelling, and a curiosity that’s led me across formats—from photography and video to podcasting, writing, and immersive media. I’ve built my career on the belief that stories, when crafted with powerful visuals and thoughtful strategy, can connect people to each other and to the places they live, learn, and grow.
My experience spans internal and external communications, producing content for city governments, universities, nonprofits, community organizations, and individual clients. I often wear many hats—leading concept development, conducting interviews, filming, editing, and distributing. I enjoy being hands-on and collaborative, and I bring equal parts organization, creativity, and thoughtfulness to the process. I’m also passionate about leveraging AI and emerging technologies to enhance creativity, improve workflows, and expand the ways we tell stories.
Originally from the San Francisco Bay Area, I’ve found a strong sense of home here in the Pacific Northwest. Based in Eugene, Oregon, I’m energized by meaningful work and beautiful environments. Whether I’m creating a short documentary, a podcast episode, a social campaign, or a virtual tour, I aim to make media that’s not just visually compelling, but also emotionally resonant, strategically sound, and genuinely useful.
When I'm not creating, you'll likely find me in the mountains—either hiking up or skiing down—getting lost in my latest fiction read, attempting to keep my garden alive, or sharing a love for beer and food with friends and family.
