About me
I'm a communications professional who loves finding the story in everything, whether that's through data insights, a camera lens, or the right words at the right time. My background spans higher education marketing, museum communications, documentary film production, and media relations, but what ties it all together is a belief that good storytelling creates real connections.
I approach every project with the same question: what story needs to be told, and how can I tell it in a way that truly resonates? I'm drawn to the challenge of making complex ideas accessible, turning data into narratives, and finding the human element in organizational communications.
As a two-time recipient of the Presidential Lifetime Achievement Award, community impact matters deeply to me. I speak English, German, Danish, and Polish, which has taught me that authentic communication transcends language. It's about understanding your audience and meeting them where they are.
I'm fascinated by where creativity meets analytics. The best communications aren't just beautiful or just data-driven, they're both. I love digging into metrics as much as I love crafting the perfect headline, because measuring impact is part of telling better stories.
