With over 15 years of experience in multimedia production, I currently serve as Associate Director of Multimedia at Harvard University, where I lead creative teams in developing innovative storytelling through video, photography, and strategic content creation. My expertise spans the full Adobe Creative Suite and encompasses everything from rapid-response media content to comprehensive campaigns that reach millions of viewers.
Previously, I spent nine years leading multimedia efforts at Washington University in St. Louis, where I launched digital asset management systems and produced campaigns with national reach while fostering creative excellence across departments. I'm passionate about collaborating with leadership, faculty, and diverse stakeholders to craft compelling visual narratives that support institutional goals and drive meaningful engagement.
My approach combines technical expertise with strategic thinking, always focused on empowering teams to deliver content that resonates with real audiences. Whether managing complex projects or mentoring emerging talent, I'm dedicated to creating authentic stories that connect organizations with their communities through cutting-edge multimedia solutions.
