A bit about me

Cross-cultural communicator. Strategic storyteller. 

 

Born in the sun-drenched, wine-producing region of Lavaux, Switzerland, and raised between the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia and California’s Bay Area, I grew up navigating the nuances of intercultural (mis)communication and learning how to adapt with ease. ​​

​

​After working in education and social work for a decade, I pursued a degree in linguistics and social sciences to explore my love for language and culture. I transitioned into the dynamic world of marketing and communications in 2014.

I know where you are coming from

Since then, I’ve worked for non-profit organizations and higher education institutions, developing an expertise in marketing project management, copywriting, brand messaging, and translation, and experiencing firsthand the pressures, limitations, and creative opportunities that come with working in-house. 

As a consultant, I bring that insider perspective—along with strategic clarity, flexibility, and executional support—so you can stay focused on your core mission while I help tell your story.

Elements of my story 

In my free time, I enjoy gardening, taking courses on a variety of topics (in 2025 this included permaculture, outdoor living, non-violent communication), exploring the world, hiking in the Swiss Alps, genealogy, and taking walks with my furry companion, Sam.
