I lead nonprofit communications, strategic partnerships, and growth-driving storytelling.

What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead communications, strategic partnerships, and growth-focused programs where storytelling, community engagement, media relations, and cross-functional leadership advance a meaningful mission.

At Portland Opportunities Industrialization Center (POIC), I lead communications strategy and strategic partnerships for a $30M nonprofit supporting schools, workforce training, community safety, and wrap-around services. As a strategic advisor to the CEO and Executive Team member, I help drive the organization’s five-year Strategic Plan.

I’ve built and scaled communications programs across internal communications, media relations, social media, fundraising, branding, and digital platforms. I launched two new websites that increased monthly visitors by 173%, built a storytelling-led social program that grew followers by 471%, and produced the full-length documentary Still Here. Portland’s Other Pandemic as Executive Producer.

My work brings teams, partners, boards, and communities together around meaningful outcomes—from COVID-19 vaccine events and earned media to multi-year strategic partnership growth. Earlier, I led product launches, e-commerce website projects, SEO, PR, social campaigns, and a local-designer retail business.
