"People will never forget how you made them feel."
-Maya Angelou

Empathy has always been at the heart of how I tell stories. It's a skill that can't be taught in a classroom or picked up in a training — it comes from truly listening, observing and connecting. And it's what sets me apart.

​

I’ve loved stories for as long as I can remember. As a kid, I was glued to books — “a need for read, not a need for speed,” as I used to say. In my teens, I picked up a camera and discovered the magic of capturing life in motion. I’ve been chasing that feeling ever since.

​

After earning my BA in Journalism from the University of Nevada, Reno, I launched my career as a multimedia journalist. Working in three newsrooms across the country, I learned to write, shoot, and edit under pressure — and more importantly, I learned the power of telling human-centered stories. That approach helped me earn an Associated Press Award, four Emmy nominations for feature storytelling, and, more recently, multiple local honors for nonprofit video work.

​

I’m certified in trauma-informed, asset-based storytelling and specialize in working with people who have lived experience. I strive to ensure every story is told with care, accuracy, and respect — centering dignity and agency at every step.

​

Today, I bring that same curiosity, care and creativity to every project.

Whether I’m producing video, writing blog content, leading interviews or managing paid media campaigns, my goal is always the same: to connect with audiences in a way that feels real.

I believe every person — and every brand — has a story worth sharing. People gravitate toward what feels familiar, what feels true. I shine when I can help bring those stories to life through words, images, and video. Let’s tell yours.
