More About me
I bring 15+ years to community building, entrepreneurship, and Rise Collective, a marketing agency for which I serve as Founder and CEO. A white, queer, disabled cis woman, I do my best to use my privileges and identities to further collective liberation online and off.
I studied Journalism, Spanish, and Italian at Ithaca College and received a master's degree in Latin American Studies with specializations in gender and development from the University of Florida. I am passionate about mentoring entrepreneurs, burgeoning activists, and marketing professionals and enjoy leading trainings and workshops about authentic storytelling, inclusive language, and equitable marketing.
As a yoga and meditation teacher, I approach my work with mindfulness and intention. I’m proud to serve on the Advisory Council of Evermore, a nonprofit that advocates for better bereavement care in the U.S., and as a member of Social Allies, a community of creators and marketing professionals that helps progressive organizations collaborate and amplify messaging and content. I’ve been featured in various publications, including Yoga Journal, and have given talks with such institutions as the Center for Digital Strategy. In my free time, I enjoy travel, spending time in nature, yoga and meditation, and radical rest.
