Brands usually call me when something is shifting: a narrative that doesn't fit anymore or the launch of a new event. I'm good at sifting through the noise and finding what's real. I believe great ideas come alive through clear storytelling and sharp execution. But I've learned the real work is everything between the idea and the audience: briefs, budgets, scheduling, vendor holds, and stakeholder trust. That's what I've spent the last 10 years perfecting.

The Kennedy Center brought me on as a Cultural Leader in Residence to advise the institution on its brand strategy to expand its reach with audiences of color. During the residency, I produced and directed the film that launched their brand shift and co-founded Field Day, a three-day festival that grew to 3,000+ people a year over its two-year run. I booked the artists, negotiated sponsorships, and directed spatial design.

For five years, I ran Innervision, the studio I co-founded: 20 client engagements, building and managing a different crew for each one. When Silkroad needed a film as leadership passed from Yo-Yo Ma to Rhiannon Giddens, I directed a five-day shoot across two states, shaped 15 interviews, and delivered the cut to funders and their board while the ground was still moving. For The Links, I turned decades of chapter history into a film they now use as their archive. Later, I led communications for an arts network of 4,000 organizers on six continents. The time zones alone were a production job.

I was chosen as one of the 21 DC Makers and Curators to Follow by District Fray Magazine. I hold a BA in Public Relations and Strategic Communication from American University and am based in the Washington, DC area. When I'm not supporting brands, I write fiction.
