about me.

I’m a communications professional with a foundation in journalism, marketing, and visual storytelling. I love designing beautiful pieces with beautiful stories.

Over the past five years, I’ve worked at three newspapers across the Midwest, including the Traverse City Record-Eagle, where I specialized in storytelling, page design, and content creation. My experience spans writing, editing, branding, and producing materials that strengthen public understanding and community connection. I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Journalism and French from Ball State University and completed a Master’s degree in Marketing from Southern New Hampshire University in 2024.

From 2017 to 2019, I served as a U.S. Peace Corps community health volunteer in Zambia, where I designed educational outreach materials, and collaborated with international NGOs on public health and water quality initiatives. This experience strengthened my ability to translate complex issues into accessible, impactful messaging for diverse audiences.

Whether through writing, graphic design, or digital storytelling, I’m driven by the power of clear, creative communication to inspire action and meaningful change. When I’m not working, you’ll likely find me and my wife playing guitar on our deck or performing with my improv troupe.
