Communications and Outreach
My background is in storytelling, writing by contract and as a freelancer for magazines, newspapers, websites, and anthologies.
A life change sent me back to school for my master's degree in communications. For the past 12 years I have worked as staff as a market and grant researcher, website manager, project developer, content developer, and social media strategist with emphasis on creating and delivering compelling messages through multiple channels for greatest impact.
In my off time, I enjoy hiking and mapping the outdoors.
