¡Hello!
Welcome. I'm a visual director and communications strategist with strong ties to photography, creative writing, and wellness & health at large. I use that foundation and lived experience in my daily work as the lens through which I create.
Currently, I lead visual strategy and creative operations for the health and family verticals at People, Inc. My focus is on merging creative vision with operational smarts to build inclusive, distinctive, and impactful brands.
I cut my teeth in digital media and the visual arts in NYC, supporting photographers in the field and on special projects. After a year-long Fulbright Fellowship in Cartagena, Colombia, I helped launch the inaugural fellowship program of CatchLight, a nonprofit photography and grantmaking organization, and continued growing my strategic communications chops on projects ranging from tourism & travel to fitness & aging communities.
Below is a selection of projects from present day back about a decade, and my role in them.
