About

I’m a creative systems thinker who builds bridges between big ideas and the people they’re meant to reach. With a PhD in music and a background spanning academia, podcast production, and K–12 curriculum design, I specialize in making complicated things make sense. I’ve ghostwritten for CEOs, designed classroom materials used by hundreds of thousands of teachers, and launched multimedia projects that speak in plain language without dumbing anything down. I do thoughtful, well-executed work that resonates.
