About Me

As a kid I was your typical nose-in-a-book nerd who somehow also got voted “Most Likely to Win an Oscar.” You could say it was my fate to end up in a career that requires equal parts thoughtfulness, creative thinking and acting on my feet.

I have two decades of experience tin B2B tech PR and marketing at agencies and startups across San Francisco, NYC and Seattle. My work spans corporate PR, product launches, proactive storytelling, mergers/acquisitions, funding announcements, internal communications, crisis communications and more. Today, I'm an SVP at WE Communications on the Microsoft Cloud Communications business, focusing on AI infrastructure, silicon and datacenters. Prior, I was a VP at the tech PR agency Mission North where I led the company's East Coast infrastructure and developer tools business, and supported NYC office growth and operations. I also served as managing director for the agency’s Media Practice, and ran communications and content programs for companies such as DigitalOcean, Atlassian, Google, Quick Base, L'Oréal USA, Rainforest and Ultimate Software.

My management approach is direct but empathetic, and results-oriented but realistic. I am decisive and hands-on when I need to be, but believe in empowering my teams to embrace the same creative problem solving mindset that has marked my own career.

I graduated Magna Cum Laude from the University of Oregon in 2006 with a degree in public relations and minor in communications.

Seattle is home where I live with my amazing husband Zac and our spirited Havanese, Vada.
