What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build equitable, supportive systems for people with rare and chronic conditions through trusted storytelling, community engagement, fundraising, and mission-driven marketing.

At Beyond Celiac, I advised brand strategy, communications, and digital programs across web, email, social, earned media, and partner channels, while leading a 300% increase in digital fundraising revenue. I also contributed to federal regulatory engagement on gluten-labeling policy and co-created content with the American Gastroenterological Association.

I've led marketing and fundraising for The Marfan Foundation and the Loeys-Dietz Syndrome Foundation, growing e-news subscriptions and social branding by up to 45%, launching educational offerings, and delivering multilingual campaigns that reached 6,000+ participants in 77 countries. Across healthcare, nonprofit, and community organizations, I build trusted stories, partnerships, and systems that help people with rare and chronic conditions thrive.
