A BIT ABOUT ME
I'm fascinated by interpersonal communications and how humans communicate within organizations — naturally, I do that for a living! Using my background in arts and marketing, I focus my efforts on creating visually engaging and creative communications, whether it be an internal newsletter, email, or intranet.
​
In the past, I've created and performed in two interactive string quartet performances for children, produced an event titled "Unwrapping Rap & Hip-Hop" that cultivated a greater understanding of the Rap/Hip-Hop music genres, and promoted numerous musical community engagement events and concerts in the mountains of beautiful Breckenridge, Colorado, with the National Repertory Orchestra.
In recent years, I've supported events hosting the Vice President of the United States, company executive leadership, and various government officials; produced a monthly internal newsletter for a site of over 4,000 employees; managed sitewide communications ranging from organizational updates and change management initiatives to employee engagement events and internal company news.
Fun facts about me? I trained as a classical violist for twelve years and was a founding member of the Asbury String Quartet in undergrad. I have a corgi named Merlin and campaign as a powerful half-elf wizard every Sunday night!
