I craft clear, compelling stories about complex things that make the world better.

About me

I'm a skilled communications and brand strategist, editor, and writer specializing in sustainability and energy.

I help people talk about complex and technical subjects in ways that explain how these things be it public policy, business investments and practices, energy infrastructure and power systems, or architecture, engineering, and design  make the world better.

I provide strategic direction, striving to ensure technical work is useful beyond a report that sits on a shelf. I connect the dots between projects and people, both internally and externally, so that communications efforts answer two main questions for target audiences: “So, what?” and “What’s in it for me?” 

I’ve led cross-functional teams of all sizes and shapes and launched communications programs across the U.S. I’ve supported and led high-pressure messaging for entire organizations, from the intern to the CEO, with a focus on communicating impact in human terms and clear, consistent, accessible products.

I thrive in complex environments with mission-driven partners who want to come together and make a positive difference in daily life.

I bring more than two decades of award-winning communications experience to your stories.
