I work with entrepreneurs and organizations to build foundations for long-term growth, streamline and automate systems, and train teams to communicate and work effectively, together.

A while back, I worked in video production and design. I even had a short film premier before Star Wars and The Hunger Games.

When I’m not in front of a screen, you’d likely find me looking for great food here in Portland, OR; playing with our two cats (Pesto and Bao); or planning an international adventure.
