I'm an editor, storyteller, community connector, and lifelong word nerd who brings curiosity and heart to everything I do.

​

Merging more than two decades of experience in journalism, community philanthropy and nonprofit communications, I work with nonprofits, higher ed, foundations, small businesses and government agencies to tell compelling stories.

 

My background as a newsroom copy editor and reporter means I’m as comfortable working with content about communities and culture as I am about science and education.

​

As a strategic planning facilitator, I pose the challenging questions that are hard for you and your team to ask yourselves, and I’ll make sure you enjoy the process and implement the results.

​

I have a bachelor’s degree in journalism with a minor in film studies from Michigan State University. I’m an AP style fan and two-time “Jeopardy!” champion. When I'm not writing, editing or advocating for causes I care about, I'm probably cheering for the MSU women's basketball team with my wife or singing along with the "Hamilton" soundtrack.
