I'm a Senior Content Strategist and Content Designer with over 20 years of experience crafting user-centric experiences.

I'm passionate about creating user-focused content that helps companies authentically engage the people they're trying to reach. I enjoy translating complex ideas into clear, compelling content that connects with target audiences.

Working across industries and collaborating with all kinds of teams has made me into a flexible, creative problem-solver. I'm a strong yet diplomatic advocate for customer experience and content best practices, using data and research to back up my recommendations and influence decision-makers. At the same time, I know when to flex for the greater good of a project. I love to collaborate, but when necessary I'm able to take a task and run with it.
