I am a seasoned marketing communications professional with 10+ years of experience, including seven years dedicated to climate progress, sustainability, and conservation. As a graphic designer and project manager, I combine strategy, creativity, and organizational expertise to help advance policies, initiatives, and solutions that help build a sustainable world where future generations can thrive.

My lifelong passion for environmental stewardship led me to transition to the climate workforce in 2018 after a decade stint in the New York State government where I was moved by activists fighting for our planet. Today, I’m committed to utilizing my skills to inspire climate action, champion sustainability, and support conservation efforts—behind a laptop or rolling up my sleeves in the field. To deepen my expertise, I earned a Master’s in Natural Resources from the Virginia Tech Center for Leadership in Global Sustainability, equipping me with the knowledge and tools to understand complex environmental challenges and what it takes to solve them.

As a signatory of the Clean Creatives pledge and member of Creatives for Climate, I pledge to only lead ethical campaigns that support environmental progress and refuse to work with companies that undermine these efforts.

Outside of work, I find joy in arts and crafts, creative writing, and exploring the great outdoors with my family. Nature is my 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, strengthening my bond with Mother Earth and her extraordinary ecosystems.
