Nice to meet you! I'm a writer and media producer in NYC, and the Senior Internal Communications Specialist at Environmental Defense Fund focusing on employee engagement. I am also a certified Project Management Professional (PMP). 

​

I have a dual degree in Digital Media Production and English: Creative Writing and an abundance of experience as a writer, editor, and content strategist working to build brands in the digital space. I'm also experienced in video production, digital art, and graphic design.

​

I consider myself a Renaissance woman; I do a bit of everything.

 

In my free time I run, play guitar and piano, learn about edible plants,

play board games with my friends, paint, and read the Hunger Games in Spanish (very slowly). If you want to learn more about me, scroll down or check out my resume.

As an FM certified DJ and audio enthusiast, I spent most of my college years inside of a radio station. In addition to having a weekly music show at WFNP the Edge, I learned a lot about on-air etiquette and regional politics every weeknight as the Local News Director, and honed my PR skills as the Public Affairs and Promotions Director. At Townsquare Media in Poughkeepsie, I worked as a Promotions Intern. In this role I worked live events, produced drops, sweeps, and more in Adobe Audition.
