Outdoors & recreation
Hiking, camping, skiing, parks and rec — the joy of getting outside or trying something new.
About Marin

My story
I've built my career at the intersection of recreation, community, culture, and storytelling.
It started with a love for the experiences and places that shaped me — weekend ski runs, family road trips, local races, community events — the feeling of discovering somewhere you want to return to, and then documenting it.
I grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area and moved north to Eugene for the University of Oregon, where I earned both my bachelor's and master's degrees — and fell for the Pacific Northwest enough to make it home.
That curiosity grew into a career telling stories about people, places, and experiences that matter. I create content that helps people discover something new, see themselves taking part, and feel more connected to the communities around them.
Today, I blend content strategy, storytelling, and multimedia production to help organizations find the human story behind their work — and turn it into campaigns that inspire people to explore, participate, and belong.
In the field
From sidelines to summits, I like being wherever the story is happening.
What I cover
The stories I tell best.
Travel & culture
Destinations, local identity and hidden gems — what makes a place feel like itself.
Sport & fitness
Races, training, game days and athletes — the energy of effort and competition.
Events & experiences
Festivals, gatherings and milestones — the people and atmosphere behind a moment.
What guides me
People first
The best stories start with real people. I listen for what matters to them, look for the moments that feel true, and build from there.
Every place has a story
Where something happens matters. I pay attention to the landscapes, details, culture, and character that give an experience its sense of place.
Strategy informs creativity
I want the work to do something — inspire participation, shift perception, build connection, or help someone discover what's possible. The goal shapes the story.
Lead with emotion
I chase the feeling behind the moment — first-race nerves, the buzz of a gathering — so the audience feels like they were there, or wishes they had been.
