I’ll teach you ways to creatively share your work all with strategy, tactics, budget AND playfulness in mind.
My Story
My career path has been far from straightforward, but that’s what has made it fun!
For over a decade, I’ve been helping arts organizations and individuals tell their stories in online spaces. Through video production, website creation, and communications consulting, I help organizations and individual artists stay true to their unique voice, while more effectively reaching the people they serve.
I have a PhD in Child Psychology from the University of Minnesota’s Institute of Child Development. Though I knew pretty early on I didn’t want an academic life, I’m grateful for the research skills I honed.
Following my PhD, I worked for 5 years with the Children, Youth, and Family Consortium at the University of Minnesota where I learned how to make videos and materials that clearly communicates scientific research to public audiences. During that time, I also wrote a book, started my YouTube channel, and gave numerous professional development trainings - all focused on making research useful for professionals in the field.

Fun Facts about me
Not everything goes well in a bio, so here’s some fun facts about me:
I love playing board games, checking out local breweries, and playing trivia with friends. 🎲
(Even funner fact: I SUCK at trivia.)
I’ve been a life long singer, and have been singing with the National Lutheran Choir for two decades. 🎼
(Even funner fact: When I was little, after I sang solos in front of large groups of people, I used to hide in the bathroom because talking to people afterward made me anxious.)
I’m a partner/strategist/song leader in a thing called Beer Choir - yes, it’s as fun and ridiculous as it sounds. 🍺
(Even funner fact: One year, for our Halloween event, I dressed up as a Soprano Solo Cup…insert groans here.)
I live in Saint Paul, MN with my husband, son and our doggo.
