    Summary: Over the past decade, I've used my innate capacity for empathy, creativity and curiosity to tell stories. Grounded in my early experience as a journalist, I've helped companies ranging from early stage startups to Fortune 500 enterprises communicate and connect with their target audiences. Now I'm leveraging that same human-centered approach to design products that help improve people's lives. Over the past year, I acquired and applied design thinking, user experience design, and visual design skills to my full-time role as a content designer and strategist at LinkedIn, helping drive more engagement on the platform. I also worked as a freelance product designer for a YC-backed startup, conducting user research and supporting high-level product strategy to ensure we're asking the right questions, solving for the most important user needs, and proposing the right design solutions. I'm passionate about technologies that have a positive impact on individuals and society broadly, and am committed to applying ethical and accessibility standards to my design approach. If you're a values-driven company that appreciates the impact that good design can have on your business, let's work together!

    Summary: From dance to theater, I have always been a communicator. This passion for communication, so deeply rooted in my identity, has influenced my professional journey from the very beginning. Storytelling is at the heart of all authentic communication, and throughout my career, from broadcast news, to PR, to marketing, I have consistently tapped into the electric power of our stories to help people feel seen, understood, and confident. Bringing my own authenticity fearlessly into the corporate world is something that took me years to accomplish. Corporate America is a place seriously lacking in honest and vulnerable communication. Many of us are fearful to be our true selves and let our spirit shine through. I have personally helped countless executives, nonprofits, and brands find unique and authentic ways of communicating about themselves which not only increase personal confidence but also increase engagement and facilitate success. I am particularly proud of my partnership with the City of Oakland to conceive and execute an initiative called “SMASH the Vote.” We curated a Black-Owned food truck pop-up to drive awareness and civic engagement. I led the PR/Marketing around this event which positively impacted the community with increased media coverage and a reach of over 1M. I also run a successful, private executive coaching practice. I always wished that I had someone to help me find my inner voice when I was starting out in the corporate space. Now, as an executive communications coach, I am able to use my charisma, confidence, and willingness to listen to give leaders, at every level, the guidance that I once craved. I have a passion for helping leaders on the path to finding themselves so that they can lead from a place of confident self-love. Our stories are who we are, and when we unlock our ability to tell our stories with radical transparency we become better leaders, team members, and, most importantly, stronger and more whole versions of ourselves. We all spend a huge amount of time at our jobs - I believe that we shouldn’t have to veil who we truly are in our workplaces. Through my public speaking and transformative life coaching, I encourage and assist professionals in bringing their mind, body, and spirit to their job and/or business. Without this holistic expression of the self, the workplace becomes a constrictive place - a place that stifles people’s true genius. I am passionate about restructuring corporate culture so that we communicate with honesty, authenticity, and vulnerability.
