I’m a writer, strategist, and narrative consultant who works at the intersection of conservation, culture, and legacy. For more than 30 years, I’ve helped mission‑driven organizations, families, and creative estates articulate who they are, why they matter, and how their stories connect to place.
My work is grounded in place‑based storytelling — the belief that landscapes, communities, and histories shape the way we understand ourselves and the work we do. Whether I’m helping organizations communicate the urgency of conservation, shaping the public story of a cultural legacy, or supporting place‑based community projects, my goal is always the same: to translate complex missions into narratives that resonate.
I began my career in journalism at Maine Times, followed by leadership roles in marketing for two Maine‑based natural foods companies. I later served as director of communications for the Chewonki Foundation, where I deepened my commitment to environmental storytelling and nonprofit strategy. In 2010, I received a Golden Arrow Award from the Maine Public Relations Council.
Today, I partner with nonprofits, conservation groups, cultural institutions, and small businesses to develop clear, compelling communications — from editorial strategy and thought leadership to websites, one‑pagers, press materials, and long‑term narrative frameworks. I especially love working with organizations and individuals whose work strengthens communities, protects the natural world, or preserves creative and cultural heritage.
