Summary
I'm a communications and design professional with nearly a decade of experience in real estate development, architecture, and project management. Skilled in writing, copy editing, layout and design (print and digital), and content planning, I'm drawn to work that combines creativity and strategy. Known for my high attention to detail, I care about making information accessible, inclusive, engaging, and human. My recent work includes editorial writing for local design, lifestyle, and business magazines and a communications internship in the health care sector.
