An award-winning journalist and university professor, my background merges news, marketing, audience development, and teaching and training.

As an editor, reporter and digital media manager with major news organizations — including the Orlando Sentinel, Palm Beach Post, Sun-Sentinel and Military.com — I gained expertise in a broad array of in-demand skills through not only newsrooms, but also advertising, marketing and technology departments.

As a college professor, my focus was not only on designing engaging and relevant courses for undergraduates, but in helping them connect their university experiences to their futures and mentoring them in developing practical career skills.

I’m passionate about crafting living, adaptable strategies to tell organizations’ stories and share their messages in authentic, high-integrity ways that lead to mutually beneficial connections with their ideal audiences.

I have a naturally innovative spirit. Major publishers like Conde Nast have started leaning into the importance of building trust and community — a mission I was advocating and building systems for 15 years ago inside algorithm-focused newsrooms 😉. And now, in the age of AI, it’s growing ever more vital for organizations to prioritize real human relationships, trust and authenticity.

In my free time, I enjoy reading, weight training, travel, practicing improv comedy, community theater, gardening and photography. I am a regular practitioner and certified teacher of yoga and mindfulness.

I earned a bachelor’s degree in French from Tulane University, graduating cum laude, and a master’s degree in mass communication (MAMC) with a journalism concentration from the University of Florida. I am a proud member of the UF Alumni Association and First-Generation Alumni Association. My partner Logan and I share our home in Gainesville, Florida, with two pampered Chihuahua mixes.
