Hey there.
In somewhat chronological order, I've been...
- a pole vaulter
- a failed pre-med (RIP, parental dreams of 2009)
- a Division I coxswain
- a crisis hotline midnight phone operator
- a cigarette slinger with Marlboro
- a waitress (low country Southern, college sports bars, West Village New American—I've been there, and I've got the grease-stained T's to prove it)
- an over-caffeinated grad student
- and a creative strategist.
I can tell you about...
- the brand architecture of Philip Morris
- 7-Eleven's retail strategy
- the finer points of steaming non-dairy milk
- the best version of fried potato to use for spicy aioli
- the competitive landscape of childrens' games in the edtech space
- and a brow-raising story or two from the writers gracing the pages of the Paris Review.
All of this is to say, I am a collector of stories.
I think everything is interesting and—thanks to a liberal arts education—that everything is interconnected. I believe in the power of words. To build worlds. To help us navigate and understand our experiences. To make meaning, and to make that meaning matter. To create, change, and shape reality.
