I moved to Seattle in the fall of 2019 looking for work as a communicator at a mission-driven organization. In October, I began work at Open Space for Arts and Community on Vashon Island, an amazing event space that co-creates artistic, community-building experiences. It was a lot of fun.
In 2020, I began grad school at the University of Washington in Communication Leadership in Communities and Networks with a specialization in storytelling. I concluded the program in 2022, and began to work at UW part-time in 2023 and full-time in 2024 and the Marketing and Communications Manager at the Husky Health Center. As the on-campus outpatient clinic for students, HHC’s mission is to provide diverse, quality healthcare for the UW community. It is a pleasure to share my alma mater’s fantastic services and help connect students to the resources they need.
Before my odyssey to the West Coast, I grew up in New Hampshire and graduated from the College of Wooster in 2017 with a B.A. in Communication Studies and minor in Religious Studies.
Outside of class, I hosted The Morning Show on Woo 91, was the business manager for the Wooster Voice, interviewed and toured potential students for admissions, volunteered with local kids, served on the judicial board, and was even asked to help voice the video embedded below:
During the summers between 2012 through 2018, I worked at YMCA Camp Coniston. During the 2016-2018 summer seasons, I managed over 100 staff as Boys Camp Director. I eventually became a Camp and Non-Profit Management Associate, which was a full-time, year-round position created for a colleague and myself.
In my free time, I like to cook, eat, bike, read, collect vinyl records, root for Ballard FC, play music, crush HBO, and travel, hike and camp in the Pacific Northwest with my partner Kim.
