What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead enterprise digital strategy and governance—building accessible, scalable web platforms and enabling cross-functional teams to deliver consistent digital communications with long-term sustainability.

I work at the intersection of systems and stories, structure and empathy, and the technical and the human. My background spans computer science, visual design, and strategic communication, which helps me see both how digital systems function and how people experience them.

My career has taken me through public education, community healthcare, professional services, and nonprofit organizations. Across those environments, I’ve learned that meaningful digital change rarely belongs to one department. It depends on connecting people, processes, content, and technology around a shared purpose.

I’m naturally drawn to the messy middle of a project, when the challenge is clear but the path forward is not. I listen first, ask questions, simplify complexity, and turn ideas into practical systems people can confidently use. I care about clear communication, thoughtful collaboration, and creating work that remains valuable long after launch.
