About Me
Based in Cleveland, Ohio - the home of Rock & Roll, I'm a rockstar communicator with a love for solving problems, supporting teams, and keeping the show running smoothly (sometimes literally).
My career has taken me from concert venues to city halls to creative boardrooms. Along the way I’ve learned that great work happens when people feel informed, supported, and energized. I’m always growing, always curious, and always up for the next challenge that lets me roll up my sleeves and make something awesome happen.

Education
Baldwin Wallace University
Berea, OH
Bachelor of Arts,
Major in Communications Studies,
Minor in Business Management
I graduated from Baldwin Wallace University with a B.A. in Communication Studies and a minor in Business Management (which is really just a fancy way of saying I learned how to understand people and get big ideas off the ground).
From marketing and PR to storytelling, psychology, and entertainment, my studies gave me a strong grip on what makes audiences connect. Pair that with business fundamentals like project management and strategic planning, and you get the perfect blend of ingenuity and operational know-how… lessons I now bring into every role I take on.
