Creativity over conformity • Substance over spectacle • Participation over perfection
Creativity over conformity.
Substance over spectacle.
Participation over perfection.
Hello!
I've spent more than two decades helping people and organizations tell better stories, build stronger communities, and bring big ideas to life.
I work at the intersection of culture, identity, and strategy. I'm fascinated by the forces that shape how and why we gather and collaborate — whether through art, politics, civic life, public space or shared experiences — and I've built my career helping leaders and organizations find clarity, build trust, and inspire action.
I spent more than a decade on the Executive Team at Burning Man Project, earned a Master's in Cities from the London School of Economics, serve on the Board of Trustees of Creative West, and helped launch the Western Lights Illuminated Art & Music Festival in Reno, Nevada.

Born and raised in Juneau, Alaska, I earned my graduate degree from McGill University in Montreal and started my career working on political campaigns and for the U.S. Senate. A graduate of the Coro Fellowship in Public Affairs, I spent 13 years in the San Francisco Bay Area before making Reno my home in 2018.
The honor of my lifetime is getting to be mama to one husky and one joyful hellion named Huxley, roles that remind me daily that leadership, like parenting, is an act of presence.
At the core of my work is a simple belief: meaningful progress begins with connection — to ourselves, to one another, and to the places we call home.
