As a geographer, writer, and producer, I help organizations and individuals build communications and outreach materials (through writing, visuals, audio, and maps) to better tell their stories and make better decisions about their environments.
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, Bureau of Land Management, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Bureau of Indian Affairs, U.S. Geologic Survey, the Department of the Interior, The Holland Project, and Hear Nebraska. This site showcases a mixture of professional and personal projects.
