Founder of JamCracker Communications.
Strategist. Writer. Your future hype machine.
With more than 20 years working in communications and public relations, I’ve learned that the best work happens when strategy meets personality — and when your message sounds like it came from a human, not a handbook.
I work with nonprofits, mission-driven brands, and organizations that care about their message. Whether we’re shaping your story, refreshing your brand voice, or untangling a communications conundrum, I bring clarity, structure, and energy to move your message forward.
