Signals
become
systems.
Systems
become
experiences.
01_
Signals
Everything begins as noise. Readings,
gestures, fragments arriving without order.
The flowing folds above are this raw input:
continuous, unresolved, alive
02_
Systems
Contours emerge. Tracing structure through
the signal, draw the topographic
lines that let scattered data settle into
relationships and shape.
03_
Experiences
Understanding arrives. The system resolves
into something a person can hold, and
act on. Warm, legible, and refracted
with meaning.
​
I’m a communications strategist working at the intersection of technology, systems, and human experience. My background spans communications, program strategy, and end-to-end execution across technical and operational environments.
​
I was drawn to technology in part through the work of artists such as Rafael Lozano-Hemmer, who uses engineering to create safe, meaningful human experiences in public spaces. His work helped shape my interest in how technology can bring people together and make complex systems feel more human.
I hold a Master’s in Technology, Innovation, and Entrepreneurship from the University of San Diego and have completed executive education in AI and Global Business through Wharton and Harvard Business School.
I’m grateful to have been recognized as a 2026 Woman of Influence and as the Technology Services Industry Association’s 2024 MVP of Customer Success. I also served as a judge for the CMSWire IMPACT Awards from 2022 through 2024.
My creative background includes writing articles for NYU Law and serving as Art Editor for The Peel Literary Magazine, where my work received recognition from the Columbia Scholastic Press Association. I received an art scholarship from Appalachian State University and have held artist residencies at Nth Gallery, Elsewhere, and The Convent Collective.
