Human-centered storyteller. Creative leader. Driving meaningful change.

Engaging Hearts & Minds for Lasting Impact

With over 15 years of experience, I’m a communicator who translates ideas and connects diverse audiences through storytelling and strategic narrative.

I’m the person organizations hire when they need someone who understands corporate stakeholders and community needs, business goals and real-world impact. I turn that understanding into results. I bridge worlds others see as separate: large corporations and mission-driven organizations, financial metrics and human stories, Fortune 500 processes and scrappy nonprofit budgets.

Throughout my career, I’ve worked just about everywhere. I’ve spent time inside a major corporation’s marketing department, directed photo shoots for Walmart and eBay, and built and sold my own branding agency. Along the way, I managed a $4M community budget, published a memoir, and empowered 300 women entrepreneurs to create viable business plans and drive socio-economic growth in their communities.

An entrepreneur at heart, I’ve launched three ventures. As the founder of Brandora Collective, I helped companies and nonprofits amplify their message with clarity and purpose. The results: 10x web traffic growth for a retail client, 300% program growth for a nonprofit, and 125% increase in student inquiries for a youth music education program.

What have all these diverse experiences taught me? The best solutions happen when you facilitate an environment where people who think differently can do their best work together. I apply human-centered design to help mission-driven teams navigate projects where the path forward isn’t always clear.

I’m especially interested in projects at the intersection of artificial intelligence and human flourishing, particularly AI safety.

I’ve never done just one thing. That’s the point. I’ve led teams across three continents and built my career on learning from people with different cultural backgrounds and expertise.

If you need someone with corporate fluency, nonprofit heart, and entrepreneurial hustle, let’s connect and explore how I can help your organization drive meaningful change.
