I’m a marketing communications operative with 12 years of experience, eight of them dedicated to climate progress, sustainability, and environmental conservation. These days, I work as a creative consultant, helping mission-driven organizations transform big ideas into impactful campaigns and stories that build awareness, earn trust, and inspire action.
My journey into climate work began in 2018, after nearly a decade in New York State government where I was inspired by activists fighting for our planet. Since then, I’ve been all in—behind the laptop and out in the field—implementing strategies that cut through the noise and move missions forward. To deepen my impact, I earned a Master’s in Natural Resources from Virginia Tech’s Center for Leadership in Global Sustainability, an experience that shaped the way I think about systems, equity, and long-term change.
As a Clean Creatives signatory and member of Creatives for Climate, I am committed to working only with organizations that move climate progress forward—not those, like fossil fuel companies or industry groups, that hold it back.
Outside of work, I find joy in making art, writing short fiction, and spending time outdoors with my family. Nature is my constant source of fuel and therapy, which is why you’ll often find me embracing the serenity of the Ocean State’s beaches or exploring coastal regions around the world, deepening my connection to Mother Earth and her awe-inspiring ecosystems.
