A storyteller
who ships.
I'm a communications director whose work leads with story: editing video, designing brand and print graphics, and running live production, shaping how an organization shows up across every channel, with roots in broadcast television and church media. For the better part of a decade I've led communications and media for growing teams.
I also picked up the tools behind the camera: I run the AV and streaming systems that keep a production on air, build the apps and websites behind the work (three published apps and a long list of sites), and train the teams that make it all happen.
A Master of Divinity taught me to study hard, communicate clearly, and teach others. Those skills show up whether I'm in an edit bay, a codebase, a server closet, or a group setting.
