With more than a decade of experience in thought leadership, storytelling, and strategic communications, I bring an analyst’s mindset to everything I create. I’m especially drawn to complex topics—digging into research, data, and expert perspectives to turn them into clear, compelling stories for business and industry audiences.
Whether I’m writing a report, a blog post, or shaping a messaging framework, I draw on my background in journalism, design, and qualitative research to uncover insights that challenge assumptions and spark new thinking. At its core, my work is about helping organizations grow by translating human insight into impactful storytelling.
Outside of work, I enjoy slowly making my way through dense 19th-century novels (The Golden Bowl being a current obsession), hanging out with my two boys at various Brooklyn playgrounds, and playing nostalgic songs from my twenties on the guitar for them (mostly Bright Eyes). I’m also always on the lookout for regional snack specialties when I travel. A few favorites: Tim’s Cascade Jalapeño Chips (PNW), Bret’s Sauce Pommes Frites Chips (France), and Fonzie’s—aka Italian Cheetos (Italy).
