I turn complex priorities into clear communications, programs, and workable systems.

What I'm looking for

I'm looking for work at the intersection of strategy and execution, where I can bring stakeholders together, make complex priorities easier to navigate, and build systems and communications that help people do good work.

At Cottage Health, I lead strategic communications for fundraising campaigns and organizational priorities, managing 40–50 projects annually across clinical service lines. I create donor-facing content and project-management systems that make complex work easier to coordinate.

Previously at UC Santa Barbara, I grew a graduate professional-development program from about 20 to more than 150 annual events. Across communications, research, and programming, I bring stakeholders together to turn complex ideas into clear, audience-centered experiences.
