The key to brilliant and effective communication is relentless curiosity about your audience. If you fall in love with them, they will likely love you back.

About Me

I am a senior creative leader with fifteen+ years of experience leading projects, empowering teammates, and translating organizational vision into compelling, on-brand creative work. I spent a decade directing the communications department at Park Street Church — a nationally recognized landmark on the Boston Freedom Trail — where I led a full brand refresh, two notable website redesigns, and multi-channel campaigns across MBTA, radio, print, and digital. Since 2021 I've consulted across brand, web, and communications strategy, and co-founded a for-profit e-commerce brand. I'm looking for a Director-level role at a mission-driven institution where I can go deep on one organization's story.

Photography

When I snap a photo, my goal is to capture the emotion of that moment so that later on people will truly have a taste of what it was like to be there. Here is a small sample of my favorites.

A choir wearing black robes with green stoles responds enthusiastically to a gesticulating choir director.
Professional portraits of a woman and two men.
The white steeple of Park Street Church on a sunny day against a blue sky. There is a light green tree on the right side of the steeple.
