I live for a good conversation.
The kind that resonates through the noise, opens up fresh possibilities, and changes the shape of things.
I’ve built my career crafting those kinds of conversations for brands and missions dedicated to shaking up the status quo and breaking new ground.
It’s my chosen art and science, and I practice it from every angle: developing identities that elevate visibility, telling stories grounded in smart strategy, and guiding changemaking leaders to share their voices with impact and ease.
I’m a language chameleon fluent in Shakespeare and sketch comedy, pop culture and poetry, metaphor and meme, an experimental systems thinker who translates complexity for fun, and a rallying engine who goes all in.
I currently head up Ecstatic Voice, a communication studio and voice lab in LA. Outside of EV, I train executives and data scientists to communicate innovation at UC San Diego’s Rady School of Management and write The Ecstatic Review on Substack.
I grew up crossing the bridges of the Bay Area and have been connecting the dots ever since. I love living and working in the dynamic kaleidoscope of Los Angeles.
