I am currently completing a Master of Arts in Communications Management with a concentration in Digital Marketing at the University of Denver, where I also earned a Graduate Certificate in Marketing Communication in 2025. This builds on my Master of Social Work and years of applied experience at the intersection of research and education; I'm passionate about using strategic communication to amplify meaningful work.
