Welcome
Whether crafting communications, designing experiences, or helping groups navigate change, engagement is my guiding star. When people feel inspired and invested, understanding and action follow naturally.

“If you want to build a ship, don’t drum up people to collect wood or assign them tasks. Instead, teach them to long for the vast and endless sea.” — Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
Saint-Exupéry had it mostly right: inspiration sparks momentum. My 15+ years in education and communications have also taught me to build on that spark, leveraging what we know about how people learn and using exciting new formats to turn inspiration into real understanding and effective action.
