I’m a communications, writing, media production, and project management professional based in Louisville (Loo-UH-vuhl), Kentucky (and yes, that’s the only correct way to say it!).
I’m currently the communications manager at the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Kentucky, where I write testimony, op-eds, talking points, blog posts, email campaigns, and more to inspire action to protect civil liberties for vulnerable Kentuckians. I also created and manage the organization’s editorial calendar and manage our social media presence for an audience of 60k+.
Prior to the ACLU-KY, I worked as a project manager and producer at creative agencies, producing a variety of multimedia pieces for a range of clients, from local non-profits to big tech.
I’ve written about my city for Louisville Magazine, the Washington Post, and the Daily Beast, including coverage of the 2020 racial justice protests. For several years, I covered the intersection of agriculture and the environment as a news blogger and reporter for Earth Eats, a blog and podcast from WFIU in Bloomington, Indiana.
I interned at StoryCorps, an oral history and public radio project that appears weekly on NPR. [Fun fact: I applied for this internship for 5 years in a row. StoryCorps taught me about persistence, as well as distilling hours-long interviews into 2 minutes of tape.]
As a journalism graduate student at Indiana University, I was a reporter for WTIU/WFIU News, producing daily stories, newscasts, radio, and video stories. My undergraduate degree is in cultural anthropology, and I have professional experience in cross-cultural and environmental education.
