About Me


I'm currently a content manager for learning and development at a non-profit organization. I work on a vartiety of content streams and products, including blogs, newsletters, magazines, and books which are accessible to 30,000 of our global members. I'm the host of a video series called Ask a Trainer where I interview training industry experts on relevant topics, and the soon-to-be host of our DEI podcast. I am also currently working on a promotional video series for our marketing department to market one of our largest annual conferences. I script and shoot my own video and I have a fundamental understanding of editing and software.

I have a background in communications with an emphasis in tv and film production and I spent some time as a production assistant for live broadcasts during my undergraduate career. I also have a background in educational administration. My background in education has allowed me to develop skills in project management and planning, and develop engaging and informative content and programming. 

I am currently exploring MA programs in producing film, TV, and video, and I am currently enrolled in digital marketing and entertainment business courses and working toward a certificate.
