Hi there!
A bit about me…
I’m interested in people and in the ways we shape a life: the work we choose, the communities we build, the stories we carry, the way we move through the world, and the small things that can make an ordinary day feel like a good one.
My work has moved through entrepreneurship, communications, leadership, writing, and yoga. On paper, those can look like separate paths. To me, they have always been connected by the same curiosity about people, ideas, and what becomes possible when we participate more fully in our own lives.
Where it started
I grew up on Cape Cod and left for college at Wake Forest University, where I studied sociology and entrepreneurship.
Sociology taught me to look closely at people, culture, relationships, and the systems that influence how we live. Entrepreneurship changed the way I think about what to do with what I notice.
The program taught me to pay attention to unmet needs, question assumptions, test ideas, and build what I wished existed. That mindset shaped projects like Campus Condomz, which grew into work with Trojan, and still influences how I approach almost everything I do.
When I encounter an idea, my instinct is usually: What could this become?
work + leadership
After Wake Forest, I moved to New York City and built my career in communications and storytelling, working across strategy, media, messaging, events, thought leadership, executive communications, and creative projects. Along the way, I met incredible people and traveled the world.
Much of my work has involved taking something complicated and finding the clearest way to bring other people into it. It taught me that good communication starts well before the writing. You have to understand what someone is trying to say, why it matters, and who needs to hear it.
A few years into my career, while continuing to work full time, I returned to school for a Master of Science in Organizational Leadership at Johns Hopkins University. I wanted to better understand the human side of work: how people lead, how groups behave, what creates trust, and why certain patterns repeat.
The program gave me new ways to explore questions I had already been carrying. It also gave me Only One Throne?
Only One Throne?
Eight episodes. Twelve women. Four generations.
For my graduate capstone, I created a podcast exploring competition, collaboration, ambition, and relationships among women across generations.
The project grew from one question: What happens when women are taught there is only room for one?
Only One Throne? received the program’s Outstanding Capstone Award and deepened my interest in what we can learn when people are given the space to tell the fuller version of their experience.
Yoga + Now
Yoga entered my life through a different door, but I found many of the same questions waiting for me there.
How well do you know yourself? What happens when you pay closer attention? Can you stay curious when something is difficult?
I completed my foundational teacher training at Kripalu and continue to study movement, anatomy, strength, yin, restorative yoga, meditation, breathwork, nervous system regulation, and other approaches to practice.
Teaching is an important part of my life, but I don’t see it as separate from everything else. It is another way I get to work with people, create experiences, and explore what helps us feel more present in our own lives.
Today my work moves between communications and strategy, teaching, writing, and projects of my own.
I like work that requires imagination and follow-through. I like people who care about what they are making. I like asking the question underneath the obvious question and having enough room to see where an idea might lead.
I’m less interested than I used to be in forcing all of that into one title.
