About Me

Strategic communicator. Community storyteller. Mission-driven.

I'm a lifelong Seattleite. I've watched this city change a lot over the years - from its gritty, compassionate roots, through the tech boom, and into where we find ourselves today. That's exactly why the work I do has to mean something.

I'm drawn to people - their cultures, their stories, the things that make them who they are. That curiosity makes me a better communicator and storyteller.

At the Washington State Department of Commerce, I've spent the last year telling stories about affordable housing, food access, workforce opportunity, and community resilience. Before that, at T-Mobile and Microsoft, I built the creative and technical skills that now serve that purpose.

I'm comfortable owning a full communications operation - managing social media, handling media requests, coordinating interviews, writing copy, and jumping on a video shoot when needed. I work fast, stay organized, and keep the message consistent across every channel.

I also love to cook. That photo at the top of this page? My own homemade ravioli. When my wife leaves town for the weekend, I go on a full-on ravioli bender - fresh pasta dough, hand-rolled, stuffed, and sealed. Hundreds of them. It's a sickness. The idea of learning alongside FareStart's chefs and helping tell the stories of students transforming their lives through food genuinely excites me.
