PERSONAL STATEMENT
I am a storyteller at heart—whether shaping a new play from page to production, commanding a stage, or crafting behavior-driven marketing campaigns. With over a decade of experience in the theatre arts as a performer, educator, and creative, I bring a deep understanding of narrative, audience connection, and collaborative creation. My career bridges the worlds of healthcare communications and the arts, merging strategy with empathy to produce content that resonates. I specialize in using story to inform, connect, and empower, whether through Pharma HCP engagement tools, wellness-focused writing prompts, or dramaturgical consulting. I’m passionate about aligning mission-driven initiatives with compelling, human-centered messaging.
