Message

At Centrally Human, I lead the development nonprofit marketing, values, and growth strategies, and coordinate community outreach to help disenfranchised youth. I also create company content and coordinate with advisory board members on fundraising initiatives. All of this work is in partnership with The Family Room Chicago, where I previously led day-to-day operations as Director by coordinating community engagement, activity planning, and leading marketing and communications.

As a freelance Writer and Editor, I edited With Light Enough to Braille Me Nextward by Jeff Schiff, published with MAMMOTH Books, along with several early development novels. I also wrote at Society19 Magazine, I wrote and published 57 SEO-based articles that received over 21,000 shares.

With additional experience in corporate communications and as an Account Executive at a public relations agency, I have a large range of skills and can quickly adapt my communication style to fit a company’s needs!
