What I'm looking for

I'm looking to apply my operations, governance, strategic messaging, and community-engagement experience to help mission-driven organizations build trust, navigate change, and turn mission into action.

Experienced leader and communicator with a career spanning marketing, media, complex operations, multidisciplinary teams, organizational problem-solving, and public engagement. I’m looking to bring that experience—and a strong ability to learn new subjects quickly—to consequential work in evolving organizations and industries.

Much of my early professional career was spent in film, broadcast, cable, and on-demand television, including leadership roles at Disney/ABC Cable Networks Group and in commercial post-production. I managed teams, vendors, schedules, budgets, and high-volume workflows in fast-moving, deadline-driven environments that often operated around the clock. The work required coordinating creative, technical, operational, and business priorities, solving problems quickly, and maintaining quality while keeping demanding production and delivery schedules on track.

More recently, I’ve worked across marketing, project management, communications, and real estate while continuing to develop new tools and capabilities, including practical fluency with AI.

My experience also extends beyond traditional corporate roles. I co-founded a consumer-products company, served for a decade on an independent-school board including three years as president, and have spent years in pediatric cancer advocacy, fundraising, and public speaking. Those experiences strengthened my ability to work across disciplines, understand complicated subjects quickly, communicate them clearly, and help organizations navigate difficult decisions and periods of change.

I’m particularly interested in marketing, communications, program management, and public-facing roles where broad experience, adaptability, creativity, and sound judgment are valued.
