Story is my chosen art and science, and I practice it from every angle.
Over the last 15 years, I’ve developed a purposely diverse body of work dedicated to defining, shaping, and amplifying bold voices and visionary brands.
I’ve sharpened my skills while creating across channels for an audience of 1B in Disney’s in-house media lab, launching Forbes into the podcast space, taking multiple local brands global, and rolling up my sleeves every week in the fast-paced writers room at The Groundlings.
I founded Ecstatic Voice in 2019, a communication studio and voice lab for cohesion and change. I currently lead strategic communications and marketing at The Archer School for Girls in Los Angeles and train executives and data scientists to communicate innovation at UC San Diego’s Rady School of Management.
I’m a language chameleon fluent in Shakespeare and sketch comedy, pop culture and poetry, metaphor and meme, a systems thinker who translates complexity for fun, and a rallying engine who goes all in.
I grew up crossing the bridges of the Bay Area and have been connecting the dots ever since.
