Storyteller by trade, leader by conviction.

My journey in communications began as a Marine combat correspondent — multiple deployments, a camera, and deadlines that didn't care about the conditions. After active duty, I turned that experience into best practices for broadcast and strategic digital communications across the DoD community, abroad and in combat environments.

After a stint in Washington, D.C. as a broadcast producer, I returned to the DoD and spent a decade in Iwakuni, Japan as Director of Marketing, leading an international marketing, corporate sponsorship, and advertising program for the Marine Corps. The role brought together host-nation public relations, communication strategy, partnership development, and comprehensive campaigns serving a complex overseas audience.

Today, I lead strategic social communications and stakeholder engagement across a broad federal mission portfolio, helping translate complex work in real estate, acquisition, technology, and public service delivery into clear, timely information for customers, stakeholders, industry, and the American public.

I hold a Master of Arts in Public Relations and a B.S. in Media Communications from Full Sail University, completed the Executive Leadership Program at UNC Kenan-Flagler Business School, and am a graduate of the Defense Information School. The thread through all of it: people first, story always, results measured.
