The connector behind the story

A storyteller by trade and a strategist by instinct, I've spent my career helping brands earn attention through relevance, creativity and authentic human connection. My experience spans national restaurant brands, hospitality, technology, nonprofits and consumer products — working alongside local business owners and franchisees, C-suite executives, professional athletes and entertainers.

Before launching GM PR, I sat on the public relations team for Raising Cane's, managing national and local media strategy, community activations, new restaurant openings, crisis response and high-profile brand partnerships. I previously worked agency-side at Champion Management, overseeing PR for a portfolio of nationally recognized brands, and began my career at Dickey's Barbecue Restaurants, helping build the company's communications programs from the inside out.

I earned my bachelor's degree in Strategic Communications from the University of Kansas. In 2022, I received Champion Management's Spirit of Iris Award, voted on by my peers for best embodying the company's core values.

Today, I partner with organizations looking to build more than awareness — creating meaningful connections that last long after the headlines fade alongside my number one employee, my dog Leo.
