I’m a storyteller, writer, and creative spirit hailing from California’s Central Valley.

Inspired by one too many viewings of the film “Almost Famous,” I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Mass Communication and Journalism with an emphasis in Print Journalism from Fresno State. My writing spans genres, from human-centered storytelling, to on-brand narratives, to one-liners that leave you smiling. I love using the power of words to foster connection, belonging, emotional resilience, and self-discovery. 

I’m also a strategic communicator with 10+ years in marketing, project management, program development, and well-being. I specialize in asking thoughtful questions that propel projects forward, and traversing big-picture thinking while keeping an eye on the details that need fine tuning.

When I’m not synonym sleuthing to find the perfect word, I’m likely ice dyeing anything I can get my hands on. If you’d like to see my colorful creations, check out Sideye Tie Dye. I’m lucky to call Fresno, California home, where I live with my partner, two dogs and one cat. 🐶🐱🐶
