I work with conservation and outdoor advocacy groups that are changing the landscape—both on the ground and in the bigger picture. I bring a mix of political and nonprofit experience to creative projects that feel real, human, and purpose-driven.
I work with conservation and recreation organizations because I believe in the power of wild places and the people fighting to protect them. I’ve helped build trail systems in Patagonia, led grassroots communities here in Virginia, and spent years supporting environmental and equity-focused nonprofits. This isn’t a niche—it’s my lane.
With a background in political strategy and nonprofit communications, I know what it’s like to juggle big goals with tight timelines and limited resources. I show up ready to collaborate, keep things moving, and handle the details—without adding more to your plate.
Photo, video, and brand content are more than just nice visuals—they’re tools to build trust, grow support, and spark action. I craft creative that’s both beautiful and intentional, grounded in your goals and guided by your audience.
I’m local to the nation’s capital, and love working with folks across the Mid-Atlantic and beyond. Whether it’s a hike, a hearing, a demonstration, or a shoot—I’m close enough to show up.
Girls Who Hike Virginia was featured in The Washington Post as part of a spotlight on community groups helping people build connection and belonging in the DC metro area. I was interviewed and quoted in the piece, sharing how our grassroots hiking community has become a meaningful way for women+ to find confidence, friendship, and adventure on the trail.

Shared here is the New York Times’ national coverage of the March 1st protests in defense of U.S. public lands. While not quoted in the piece, I co-organized the Washington, D.C. protest at the Lincoln Memorial, which brought together 100 advocates to stand up for our National Parks and protected spaces.
