My philosophy on communications is simple: Tell a story. Build a human connection. Be Interesting. Reach people where they live. The results will come.

I am a class of 2011 graduate of the Liberal Arts Honors Program at the University of Minnesota - Twin Cities. I majored in Strategic Communications (a wonderful mashup of Journalism, Advertising, and PR) and minored in Spanish. I also received a background in Graphic Design and Psychology as well.

Since graduating, I have created a track record of success in developing communications strategy, assisting on major events including the Minnesota Zoo’s Beastly Ball and the Guthrie Theater’s 50th Anniversary Gala, managing social media, garnering publicity, engaging new audiences, and working with stakeholders, board members, and local and national media.
