The human behind the screen

From the U.S. to Germany and back again, I've spent the past decade translating strategy into shared understanding. I have been a consultant, a scholar, and a teacher across boardrooms, research labs, and time zones, but I am first and foremost a strategic communicator laser-focused on engagement and impact. The work shared on this site provides some specific examples and an idea of my range. If you'd like to say hi or learn more about client-privileged deliverables, please reach out.

I hold a PhD in Communication and Media from the University of Michigan (2023), an M.A. in Communication from Purdue University (2017), and a B.A. in Mass Communication from the University of South Florida (2014). When I'm not working, you can find me hiking with my husband and dog, planning my next trip, cheering on the Wolverines (Go Blue!), or curling up on the couch with a book beside a to-be-read pile taller than I am.
