Hi!

Before founding GreenCraft Media in 2020, I gained 15 years of experience telling visual stories through digital media; beautiful photography; and by creating engaging video content for some of the world’s biggest media and social platforms. I'm an award-winning multimedia and video journalist – with a Society for Features Journalism award and an Emmy win during my time as Supervising Multimedia Producer for NBC's TODAY show in New York, NY. I was also an NBC News Multimedia Journalist for 6 years prior to my role at TODAY, and a member of their awesome Digital Production team who earned a number of national and international awards.

My background is built solidly in communications and creating visual, digital content (via the experience above + a degree in Photojournalism and Digital Media from the #1 undergrad program in the U.S. - GO HILLTOPPERS!).
But I also gained a WORLD of experience when I took a hard left out of journalism to spend three years leading Media and Operations for online retailer Everything But The House, the Cincinnati-based company that was named Ohio's most-valuable startup in 2017.

GreenCraft Media is a collaboration of content creators across marketing, media production, graphic design, copywriting, and visual storytelling.
We understand media and we understand small business. ​We're excited to roll up our sleeves and make a difference for you.
