Great strategy anchors complex systems in human emotion.

My work brings together journalistic rigor and strategic clarity to help mission-driven organizations and global enterprises translate dense information into action. I started my career holding a camera for local news. Writing, shooting, and editing over 200 broadcast stories under daily deadlines taught me the most important lesson of my career: how to find the signal in the noise.

Whether I was investigating the housing crisis in Northern California for a documentary series, or conducting public health fieldwork in rural Ghana, I learned that communication only works when it is anchored in empathy and authenticity. People don't connect with policy documents or corporate jargon; they connect with human stories.

Today, I apply that same investigative rigor to digital strategy. Armed with a Master's in Strategic Communication from the University of Oregon and a Webby Honor for spatial media design, I build campaigns that scale. From architecting social intelligence programs for global semiconductor brands at The Hoffman Agency to driving double-digit engagement growth for civic advocacy groups, my approach remains the same: I translate the highly complex into the undeniably human.
