I am a creative pathfinder with the vision of an Art Director, technical skills of a Creative Producer, and strategic intuition of a Marketing Professional. I bring years of experience developing exceptional brands, narratives, and creative campaigns for nonprofits, start up companies, artists, and corporations.

I have spent over a decade honing my ability to translate complex concepts into clear, digestible information tailored to clients, business partners, and internal team members. This combined with my artistic eye and growing skills in graphic design, video editing, and audio production, allows me to see the entire lifecycle of a creative campaign through from beginning to end - with measurable results.

In my current role as Marketing Director of the Portland dance company BodyVox, I work directly with the Artistic Directors to understand the mission and narrative of BodyVox and deliver it to our community in a way that will resonate with them and call them to action. As the in-house graphic designer and video editor, I tap into the essence of BodyVox’s aesthetic, pulling from their colorful and iconic dance choreography to create posters, video content, playbills, ads, and more. As the copywriter, I must step into various voices, capturing the professional gravitas of a press release one moment and the young, edgy voice of social media in the next - all while keeping the heart of BodyVox at the center of my communications. Since I’ve taken on leadership of BodyVox’s marketing, we have seen a 70% increase in dance center attendance, a 64% increase in ticket sales to their annual film festival, and an increased attendance of 55% for main company performances.

I received my Master's Degree from New York University Steinhardt’s Music Business program in 2020, a rigorous two-year exploration of business administration, marketing, publishing, and law in the music arts, as well as a Bachelor's Degree in Creative Writing with a Minor in Arts Entrepreneurship from Bucknell University.

I have a natural capacity for seeing patterns and connecting dots, allowing me to work from the intersection of art, content, and marketing, and this intuitive understanding has guided my work for others, as well as several large independent projects. Such independent projects recently include production of my first ever feature-length film DANCES OF SIGNIFICANCE, a movie musical that I co-created with my husband and creative partner. This huge labor of love, which included casting, directing, and performing with 50 local artists, editing hundreds of hours of footage into a 75 minute film, and independently raising $15,000 to fund the project, has taught me a great deal about storytelling, creative production, and forming sustained connections with our community. DANCES OF SIGNIFICANCE will premiere on August 27, 2026 at PAM CUT’s Tomorrow Theater in Portland, Oregon.

Another large independent undertaking that I am very proud of is “Garden Party,” a one-day music festival in Portland’s Washington Park Rose Garden Amphitheater, which I co-produced in August 2025. As a major player in our modest team of three people, I lead all marketing and art direction. Our inaugural concert sold over 400 tickets, and the brand of “Garden Party” has become known and appreciated in the Northwest Portland community.

Having grown up in a small town in Pennsylvania, I was privileged to pursue an education that took me out of my comfort zone and allowed me to spend a semester studying film and working in London, England, another semester exploring ancient Greek mythology, poetry, and culture in Athens, Greece, as well as two years living, working, and pursuing my Master's Degree in New York, NY. The culture shock alone was enough of an education to strengthen my ability to approach life from an open-minded perspective, practice compassion, and put myself in the place of others.

Whether a project requires a highly-focused, specialized marketing and communications professional, or a one-stop-shop, I have the tools, experience, and grit to step up to the challenge.
