Art, Education & Communications

With over a decade in digital communications, my career includes extensive experience in writing, copyediting, and proofreading. My marketing and advertising work includes creative strategy as well as copy and design production for campaigns. I’ve worked with nonprofits, educational and cultural institutions including the Bronx Zoo, Girl Scouts of the USA, and Carnegie Museum of Natural History.

    Here are a few highlights of my own edu journey:

    • 25+ credits in graduate-level conservation biology (Miami University, 2024-2025)

    • MFA, Creative Writing (Wilkes University, 2011-2014)

    • BA, Theater Arts (Duquesne University, 2006-2010)

    I’m a lifelong learner. I’ve taken creative classes since I was a toddler. In college, I volunteered in an after school program and worked in the education department of a museum.

    Since then, I’ve worked with kids and adults in informal settings. Lately, my curriculum brings together the arts and science to address everyday changes in our environment.

    I’m excited to continue developing curriculum and sharing it online and in-person.
