Welcome!

Over the course of my career, I've had the privilege of working in a newsroom, on a higher education creative team, and with a communications consulting firm, creating content for my employer as well as for nonprofit and foundation clients. (I've also been a third-grade teacher, and while I'm particularly proud of the flip charts I made, my lesson plans would most certainly bore you.)

As a communications strategist for Springboard Partners, I support nonprofits and foundations with planning, message development, content creation, and media research. Below are a few examples, including:

• Social media templates for a CT health coalition's Medicaid advocacy campaign.
• Website content produced for the Children's Alliance of Kansas kinship initiative. 
• An op-ed I wrote on behalf of our client, which was published in the Washington Business Journal.
• A newsletter I created for our firm, titled We're Feeling (20)22. (I'm a Swiftie.)

As a writer/editor for Virginia Tech, I developed copy for Virginia Tech Student Affairs programs, events, and initiatives. Below you'll find: 

• A small sampling of feature stories.
• A link to view a mental health campaign I co-created.
• Two slogans I developed for a fundraising campaign, and the tagline I created for the division. (It's been seven years since I left that position, and the tagline is still in use.)
