About
Hi, thanks for visiting my site. I am currently a communications manager for Coface North America with a knack for digital strategy. I have worked as a digital media producer for American Airlines, and prior to that I spent nearly a decade working in newspaper journalism, spending the majority of that time on the award-winning photography staff of The Dallas Morning News.
I grew up being so affected by the visual moments that photographers before me captured that I didn't just want to be a visual storyteller – I had to be. The power of an image is not lost on me. It provokes thought, change, and ideas. And I'm grateful for every opportunity to tell a story. After leaving journalism, I found that this same passion translated to brand strategy and digital communication. Finding unique and impactful ways to tell a story is what drives me - and finding ways to accomplish that in the digital space keeps me motivated.
When I'm not storytelling, you can find me living in Dallas, Texas with my husband Frank and my two mini me's – Sally and Summer.
