Progressive Profile

Tagline

Award-winning writer, editor, and multimedia strategist with 10+ years experience in marketing, public relations, and media production.

Impact

The last time I felt like I had an impact was in 2018. There was a contentious local senate race and one of the issues surrounded the opioid epidemic in our community. Interviewed health care professionals, local recovery homes, people in recovery, local law enforcement, and people from the nonprofit world and wrote a 6,000-word piece for two major local newspapers that ran the week of the election. It was an effort to at least tell the truth about the issue.

Beyond that, I’ve marched, donated, put in yard signs, wore the shirts, talked about my beliefs in public – most of the typical things that progressive minded people do. I would love to have more of an impact professionally.

Mission

I’m a storyteller. I think my best talent is my ability to interview people where they are, and help distill complex issues for a broad audience, and deliver that in a way that’s easy to digest and share. I’m a content machine, with a broad skillset, and I would love to put that talent and energy to good use.
