Content Director ︱ UX Strategist ︱ Creative Leader
Everybody has a story.
I design content, craft stories, create user experiences, and champion teams.
My career has spanned broadcast, digital, publishing, and tech. Billions worldwide have been impacted by my work.
Twelve years with Oprah as a co-producer on The Oprah Show, Oprah’s Book Club, and Super Soul Sunday for OWN - the job of a lifetime, meeting people I will never forget.
Three years with Tribune Publishing designing and producing branded content strategies for brands like Nestlé Waters, Walgreens Beauty, FX, Jewel-Osco, Infiniti, Michelob Ultra, and Menards.
Three years designing content ecosystems for Intuit, maker of QuickBooks, TurboTax, CreditKarma, and MailChimp.
Currently serving everyday entrepreneurs as Director: UX Design Strategy and Content at GoDaddy.
Winner of Emmys, Gracies, Digiday, INMA, and Communicator awards—to start.
I’m a Trekkie, a puzzler, and a stand-up comic. Running is The Worst, and I can’t really swim, so it makes sense that I am also a triathlete.
Sitting still has never been my forte. Say hi!
