About
I'm a senior communications professional with 13+ years of experience working at the intersection of climate finance, global development, and mission-driven work. I've spent my career helping complex programs tell clearer stories, and I care deeply about the organizations and people I support.
What I bring that's a little different is that I do both the thinking and the doing. I'm as comfortable developing a strategy as I am writing the first draft, managing a vendor, or jumping in wherever something needs to get done. I'm a steady presence when things move fast, and I genuinely love being a thought partner to the people I work with.
I'm based in Tennessee, though my career has taken me across the United States and around the world. Outside of work, I'm usually reading, crafting, or out on horseback.
If any of that sounds like what you need, I'd love to connect.
Prosper Africa Communications Toolkit
During my time as Strategic Communications Advisor for USAID's INVEST initiative, I led the development of the Prosper Africa website from concept through launch. I wrote all of the content, guided the design and strategic vision, and oversaw the web development team that built it. The result was a comprehensive digital toolkit connecting U.S. businesses and investors with trade and investment opportunities across the African continent.

CFDA Climate Finance Storytelling
As Senior Communications Manager for the USAID Climate Finance for Development Accelerator, I developed two digital storytelling initiatives to expand the program's reach and visibility. I pitched and built an interactive storymap showcasing CFDA's climate finance portfolio across regions and thematic areas. I also restructured and rewrote CFDA's section on Climatelinks, a U.S. government knowledge platform, to better align with our messaging and make the program's work more accessible to partners and practitioners.
