I've always loved a good story. ​

​

Starting as a doe-eyed entertainment journalist in Los Angeles, I found inspiration everywhere I looked and listened. I interviewed movie makers and chronicled rising rock stars, from backstage to on-set. I was a freelance contributor to Premiere, Rolling Stone, and Request, as well as the Managing Editor for Entertainment@Home magazine. I shared all news that was fit to print. 

 

I transitioned to creating content and marketing for board games while holding staff positions at Mattel and Cranium. Keeping with the game theme, I was a counselor at peace camps for kids in war zones. I wrote stories about these adventures and guest lectured at elementary schools and colleges alike. Cultivating community is one of my love languages and it made me a cover girl and book contributor. You'll see.   

​​

When Seattle's tech scene beckoned, I took on leadership roles at Classmates and Allrecipes. I merged my emotional intelligence with the artificial intelligence of Expedia's Conversation Platform. Most recently, I powered play, self-expression, and connection for Meta Reality Labs. 

​

​As a creative consultant, I roll up my sleeves—and even my pants—to wade through branding, messaging and design jams for all clients. They've said some nice things.  

​

I keep those pants rolled up most weekends digging in the dirt, harvesting delight, and cooking with the seasons. And when I'm not globe trotting following humpback whales, I'm hitting a local trail by bike or foot with my husband, kids, and our Mini Aussie Shepherd.
