"All the World's a Stage"

I grew up in Seattle Washington, a product of The Loving Generation. With a singer for a mother and an actor father, you could say I was destined for the stage.

Growing up, I spent summers playing on the beaches of Puget Sound and San Juan islands, where my love for water and swimming flourished. So much so that I spent several years in competitive swimming with aspirations for the Olympic trials. Still, the allure of the stage won out.

After earning a degree in theatre performance from the University of Maryland, I spent a decade living and  working as a professional actor in Washington, D.C. Simultaneously, I began to cultivate a career in nonprofit and corporate media marketing with prestigious organizations like Fords Theatre, Folger Shakespeare and Discovery Channel Communications.

Returning to the emerald beauty of Washington state in 2015, I tripped and fell into a role at Microsoft. Then my life took one of the coolest turns I never expected. I spent a decade in big tech activating inclusion across business operations, communications, and global onboarding programs.

Today, I’m funneling what I’ve learned back into the communities that have contributed so much to my success.

Fun party facts: I'm an 80’s glam rock superfan, Star Trek enthusiast, plant collector, otter lover, and Elvis Presley Tribute Artist. (Yep. You read that last one right.)
