I know branding and media inside-out, and now I’m using that power in cultural, educational, and community spaces.

  • Past Work, Present Purpose

    I spent the last decade helping major brands tell meaningful stories. Today, I bring that same strategic and creative focus to education, culture, and animal welfare—using communication to connect people with ideas, communities, and the living world around them.

  • Where Strategy Meets Storytelling

    From archiving children's opera history to supporting animal welfare initiatives and teaching media writing courses, I bring both strategy and heart to every project. I am passionate about making complex ideas accessible, whether through public programs, educational resources, advocacy campaigns, or community engagement.

  • What I’m Building Now

    With master's degrees in Mass Communication and Children's Literature, I continue my work exploring how media, storytelling, and culture shape the way people understand the world around them.

    Drawing from backgrounds in communications, education, archives, and the humanities, I am particularly interested in public engagement, children's and family media, cultural preservation, animal advocacy, and the role stories play in fostering empathy, learning, and community.

    Whether through research, teaching, program development, or community-based work, I am committed to creating experiences that encourage curiosity, creativity, and meaningful connection.

From Brand Storytelling to Cultural Strategy

Over the last decade, I’ve led creative campaigns and strategy for brands like Pinterest, Sally Beauty, Hyundai Hope on Wheels, No Kid Hungry, and The Salvation Army. My work focused on building community through storytelling—connecting people to causes, culture, and content that mattered.

As a Lead Marketing Specialist and PR Account Executive, I developed brand strategies, secured national media coverage, and worked cross-functionally with creative teams. I helped brands not only perform but resonate with their audiences.

That same storytelling approach now guides my work in museums, classrooms, and archives, where I believe the most powerful stories are the ones that educate, preserve, and bring people together.

Research, Representation & Education

I hold a BA in Public Relations, a MA in Mass Communication, and a MA in Children’s Literature. My research spans media, identity, and educational storytelling.

In my graduate work, I’ve explored:

  • “A Meat Paradox”: how media disassociates meat consumption from its animal origins, shaping cultural norms and consumer behavior

  • “Alice in Flux”: examining Alice in Wonderland as a lens for identity, education, and girlhood in transitional space

  • Animal allegory in children’s media: how animal characters teach values, challenge anthropocentrism, and reflect societal roles

I currently teach digital media and writing, support educational programming and youth arts initiatives, and lead archival projects that preserve and expand access to cultural history.

Through teaching, research, archives, and public engagement, I explore how stories shape the way we learn, connect, and make meaning. My work sits at the intersection of media, education, culture, and advocacy, with a focus on creating experiences that are thoughtful, accessible, and engaging.

At the intersection of research, representation, and creative education, I aim to make learning more visual, inclusive, and deeply human.
