I am a communication and cultural studies scholar/practitioner that works in multimedia and convergence platforms from a strategic and critical perspective.

My courses are mostly in media, theory, writing, and production, as well as social marketing and public relations and broader fields like intercultural communication and mass media.

My consulting work through STORY | STRATEGY helps non-profits, social entrepreneurs, and startups design business strategy and strategic communications plans as well as effective messaging on the news, in digital media, and in public speaking.
