I’m interested in how cultural spaces function as civic ecosystems.

Through reporting grounded in place, I examine how museums, alternative arts spaces, sculpture parks, and community initiatives respond to social challenges — from youth mental health to environmental stewardship to democratic participation.

I approach the arts not as ornament, but as infrastructure: sites where attention becomes care, where dialogue becomes trust, and where creative practice shapes collective wellbeing.

Curious, rigorous, and grounded in lived community experience, my writing asks a simple question:

‍ ‍When culture is treated as a living system, what begins to grow?

I am a Bay Area–based journalist and storyteller with graduate training in journalism, museum studies, and writing, and senior leadership experience in communications. I currently provide communications guidance and content development while contributing to multiple publications as a freelance journalist.

My freelance reporting explores the evolving role of museums in society and examines how creative practices foster wellness, environmental awareness, and civic well-being. My graduate capstone project at Harvard Extension School, completed through the journalism and museum studies program, examined the quiet power of art to heal people, places, and the public sphere. I earned my undergraduate degree in art history from New York University.

My coaching approach is grounded in the belief that effective communication empowers people to clarify their thinking, engage empathetically with others, evaluate information critically, and participate meaningfully in their communities. I help clients develop self-awareness, confidence, clarity, and ethical awareness in how they speak, listen, write, and deliver messages across contexts and media.
