Hello and Welcome!
I consider myself an explorer, a communicator, and a connector. My career path spans journalism, educational content development, and qualitative research for institutional investors.
I am by nature curious and adventurous, and I love to try new things and to learn. Creativity is central to my thinking and how I move through my life.
As writer and editor, I have developed award-winning content for business and consumer audiences. For the nonprofit education agency WestEd, I designed and developed content that helped improve education outcomes in six states. My research for institutional investors informed and drove multibillion-dollar business decisions.
In all my roles, I have enjoyed building platforms to share knowledge and foster collaboration with colleagues and clients.
My creative work includes Moth-style true stories, poetry, and improvisation. I’m also long-time yoga student and teacher, meditator, jewelry maker, and amateur chef.
Thank you for visiting to learn more about me.
“I love it when people spontaneously mashup or invent words. My current favorite is ‘floatate,’ which I used to describe a long meditation in the float tank.”
My grandmother and I shared a love of stories. Dr. Seuss and Michael Bond were two of our favorite writers. Our favorite books were Where the Sidewalk Ends and A Wrinkle in Time.
Because my grandmother read to me every day, I learned to read before I went to school. I remember curling in close under her arm and resting my head on her shoulder so I could see the words and pages as she read. We spent countless hours snuggled together reading. So, for me, reading has always carried the indelible energy of embrace.
