storyteller for people & planet.

I’m a strategic communications leader with nearly a decade of experience helping international nonprofits grow through ethical, solutions-focused storytelling.

I’m also an avid traveler, an improviser, a dad to three, and a few too many hobbies.

My career has focused on telling solutions-oriented stories about people, place, and environmental resilience, often in international contexts. I’ve worked extensively with global teams and locally based creatives to document community-led initiatives in countries including Ethiopia, Burundi, and Thailand, with an emphasis on ethical representation and cultural respect.

For nearly a decade, I led storytelling and communications for Plant With Purpose, an international environmental nonprofit operating across multiple continents. I traveled, collaborated with in-country partners, and produced content that made complex global work accessible to international audiences. Alongside creative production, I built systems and processes to support consistency, quality, and growth.

I’m an avid traveler, illustrator, and improviser, and I thrive in roles that require adaptability, curiosity, and cross-cultural communication. Whether telling stories through video, writing, or visual media, my goal is always to help audiences feel more connected to the world.
