About me

I'm a communications strategist focused on marketing and outreach in academia. I love blending fundraising and storytelling to engage diverse communities and elevate institutional missions. 

With a BA from the University of Washington and an MFA from Sarah Lawrence College, I’m passionate about using narrative to inspire change. Right now, I’m working on my novel, The Things We Did to God.
