A commitment to connections and community
I strive to tell the stories of people around me and value building connections with local businesses in my community.
A passion for genuine connection
I believe the most powerful work happens when people feel seen and understood. Storytelling is the most powerful way to connect and whether I’m working with individuals or organizations, I help bring their stories to life—authentically and with intention.
