I’m a strategic communications pro who builds clarity out of chaos and turns big ideas into campaigns that resonate with diverse audience groups.
I have my Master’s in Communications Management and a BA in English with a focus in Professional Writing & Social Media — both from UAB, where I’ve been leading marketing for genomic medicine programs and clinics, rare disease initiatives, and research efforts under the Chief Genomic Officer.
Since 2020, I’ve been working in a remote/hybrid environment with help from my two feline coworkers (who are terrible at Slack, but sometimes provide great ideas about marketing strategy).
In Summer 2020 (exactly five months into my marriage!), I nearly died from COVID-19. Statistically speaking, I shouldn’t be here. My spouse is an ICU nurse—we’ve lived and are living both sides of the COVID coin. I was one of the last people enrolled in a global clinical trial, and I received the study medication—not the placebo. For patients like me, this difference was life or death.
That experience fundamentally reshaped how I think about health communication, access, and trust. It’s a big part of why I do what I do, and why I care deeply about making complex information clear, human, and actionable.
I’m writing a book about that season of life—the grief, the healing, and everything that came after. (Stay tuned!)
I’m currently exploring new opportunities and am open to relocation. Let’s connect!
