I know branding and media inside-out—and now I’m using that power in cultural, educational, and community spaces.

  • Past Work, Present Purpose

    I spent the last decade helping major brands tell meaningful stories. Now, I’m taking that same creative focus into museums, classrooms, and community spaces—places where stories are preserved, taught, and lived.

  • Where Strategy Meets Storytelling

    From archiving children’s opera history to leading media writing courses, I bring strategy and heart to every project. I love making complex ideas accessible, whether I’m building lesson plans or designing public programs.

  • What I’m Building Now

    I'm currently earning a master’s in Children’s Literature and researching how rhythm shapes learning. My focus is on educational work that blends creativity, care, and culture—whether in a museum, library, or lecture hall.

Let's Connect

From Brand Storytelling to Cultural Strategy

Over the last decade, I’ve led creative campaigns and strategy for brands like Pinterest, Sally Beauty, Hyundai Hope on Wheels, No Kid Hungry, and The Salvation Army. My work focused on building community through storytelling—connecting people to causes, culture, and content that mattered.

As a Lead Marketing Specialist and PR Account Executive, I developed brand strategies, secured national media coverage, and worked cross-functionally with creative teams. I helped brands not only perform—but resonate.

That same storytelling approach now guides my work in museums, classrooms, and archives, where I believe the most powerful stories are the ones that educate, preserve, and bring people together.

Research, Representation & Education

I hold a BA in Public Relations, a MA in Mass Communication, and am currently earning a second Master’s in Children’s Literature. My research spans media, identity, and educational storytelling.

In my graduate work, I’ve explored:

  • “A Meat Paradox”: how media disassociates meat consumption from its animal origins, shaping cultural norms and consumer behavior

  • “Alice in Flux”: examining Alice in Wonderland as a lens for identity, education, and girlhood in transitional space

  • Animal allegory in children’s media: how animal characters teach values, challenge anthropocentrism, and reflect societal roles

I currently teach digital media and writing courses at Penn State University, assist with museum programming and art camps at the Mississippi Museum of Natural Science, and serve as Archivist for Opera Mississippi—curating and digitizing 80+ years of programming for the organization.

At the intersection of research, representation, and creative education, I aim to make learning more rhythmic, visual, and inclusive.
