Digital Storytelling

I'm interested in providing organizations with creative storytelling — across all communication channels with clarity, engagement and community-focus.

Available for work.

About me.

People — and the stuff that moves them — drives my work. I'm committed to positive social change wherever opportunities arise. Since 2018, I've gained experience in Social Media Management, Marketing & Communications, and Digital Content Creation.

Based out of Chicago, IL & Minneapolis, MN
