Welcome to my blog. I document my adventures in travel, style, and food. Hope you have a nice stay!
My résumé will not have all of the latest industry buzzwords, nor does it pander by copy-and-pasting language from job postings. What it does show is a creative leader who is grounded in storytelling, craft, and the discipline of seeing ideas all the way through. I’ve led content and creative strategy across entertainment, education, nonprofit, and higher-ed environments — building campaigns, producing and editing video, conducting interviews, launching newsletters and podcasts, and developing content ecosystems rooted in clarity and craft. I bring taste, judgment, and perspective, along with the ability to shape narratives, evaluate creative honestly, and build systems that support consistent, high-quality output across teams and channels. –But getting a true sense of those things will take a conversation with you, not an ATS scanner..
