I’m a digital strategist and media producer with 9+ years of experience and a passion for storytelling and building content that truly connects with people. In my current role, I lead full-scale media production and marketing, including designing and building out a recent podcast set from the ground up, overseeing filming, lighting, audio, and post-production, and shaping the overall creative direction. I’ve also had the opportunity to support a book launch through Collective615, helping promote Jessica Zweig Fisher’s work through strategic content and community-driven marketing. That experience strengthened my ability to translate a story into something that audiences can engage with across platforms. At the core of everything I do is storytelling. Whether I’m producing video, building a brand presence, or developing a campaign, I focus on creating content that feels intentional, engaging, and impactful. I bring a balance of creative vision and marketing strategy, with the goal of not just reaching audiences, but actually moving them.
