As a storybuilder, I help organizations and individuals build communications and outreach materials (through writing, visuals, and maps) to better tell their stories.
I have experience in federal, private, and nonprofit sectors and a specialty with building stories around places. Through the years I have been fortunate enough to work with some amazing individuals and organizations including National Park Service, U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, University of Nebraska, and the Department of the Interior.
