I’m a marketing and communications leader with 15+ years of experience turning complex ideas into clear, compelling campaigns across digital, email, and media channels. My career has spanned educational publishing, literary nonprofits, and independent bookselling, with work that’s consistently centered on connecting mission-driven organizations to the audiences who need them most.
Outside my professional work, I’ve spent years leading civic and community organizations, including serving as Co-President of the League of Women Voters of Massachusetts and founding the League of Women Voters of Franklin County. That has meant running public education campaigns on voting rights, coordinating with diverse community stakeholders, and communicating complex policy issues to general audiences. It’s the same core skill set, applied to different stakes.
Language has always been where I do my closest thinking. My debut poetry collection, Leave No Wake, was published by Pine Row Press in 2022—attention to precision and rhythm is built into my DNA. I’m drawn to work where communications and marketing aren’t just visibility for its own sake, but are direct pathways to people getting something vital to their lives.
