What I'm looking for

I seek senior content strategy or consulting roles where I can lead DEIB-informed, accessible content programs, mentor teams, and deliver measurable engagement and operational improvements.

I am a senior content strategist and consultant with a proven track record delivering inclusive, audience-focused content across nonprofits, education, healthcare, and corporate clients.

I lead content strategy, copyediting, and content operations for organizations such as The Gates Foundation, Medline, Walt Disney Parks and Resorts, and multiple public-sector clients, improving readability, engagement, and onboarding outcomes.

I drive measurable results through content revamps, CMS implementations, change-management communications, and team leadership — examples include multiplying social followers, boosting page views, and reducing project revisions.

I bring technical fluency with tools like WordPress, EasyContent, Adobe Creative Cloud, Figma, Airtable, HubSpot, and IBM Maximo, and I prioritize accessible, trauma-informed, and DEIB-centered content that advances organizational goals.
