Published journalist and health author with a background in marketing and SEO
Aloha! I’m originally from Hawaii but I now live in the beautiful Pacific Northwest.
By day, I’m an established communications and operations leader with more than 15 years of experience managing B.C. tech startups, national Canadian nonprofits, and global e-commerce, publishing, and higher-education brands.
By night, I’m a certified personal trainer and health writer whose wellness advice has been featured in national media like Men’s Journal, Eating Well, Teen Vogue, MSN Health, and USA Today. I also write extensively for marketing, lead generation, and SEO clients.
My years of experience in strategic communications, print and digital marketing, multimedia storytelling (including helping to direct numerous video shoots), fundraising and media relations may seem very varied.
But one thread that ties all my experiences together is my love for:
- Turning challenges into opportunities; - Building collaboration among teams; - Developing, testing and executing ideas; - And bridging the gap between startup-style design thinking and innovation, and more traditional business practices and organizational structures.
