As a humanist, I’ve spent a lot of time learning how to ask questions that reveal hidden truths. It’s one of the most essential skills I’ve mastered. I received my B.A. from Stanford University and my Ph.D. from the University of Chicago, where I wrote about new feelings and old ideologies in the United States.
Since then, I’ve gone on to become a brand strategist, content consultant, growth marketing director, and executive editor for several magazines.
I design powerful stories with simple words. With enough luck and grace, I can help anyone turn difficult ideas into messages that really matter.
