About me
Nothing excites me more than engaging with an audience. I'm especially attracted to locations where policy and communication intersect, and as a former elected official, I understand the importance of civic engagement to creating real change in communities. Through a variety of jobs, internships, campaigns, and projects, I’ve developed strong research and writing skills, detailed below and in my portfolio. In my free time, I like to explore new places--by foot, bike, or canoe. I'm always interested in talking through ideas and meeting creative folks, so please feel free to contact me at if you'd like to connect!
