I’ve published personal essays and perform my writing regularly with 2nd Story, a Chicago-based organization rooted in the idea that well-told stories can be a catalyst for change.

About

I believe that how we communicate shapes our experience of the world.

I have an MFA in Nonfiction, and ten years’ experience working in box offices around the Chicago arts scene. I spent a lot of time building people-centered processes, whether configuring ticketing software for ease of use or revamping an onboarding curriculum (twice!). But I most enjoyed smoothing paths with my words—maintaining clear and concise user guides, getting the entry policies on a new ticket just right, and crafting an internal communications plan to introduce a revised complimentary ticket request process.

I’m hoping to make words my work.
