Writer, researcher, strategist
I got my start working with preschoolers at the Walker Art Center. Now I help people and brands craft their stories.
Between those bookends, I shaped content for digital projects in the museum space, got a Ph.D in art history, and led writing and strategy at Studio Rodrigo.
