About

me

I consider myself a brand journalist, working to tell true and impactful stories about brands that I believe in.


I have worked as a freelance journalist, magazine designer, English & journalism teacher, and, most recently as the Director of Communications for a large K-12 private school in Taipei, Taiwan ROC.


I have credentials and certificates in teaching, school leadership, nonprofit fundraising (CFRE), and four graduate degrees, including an MBA.


I am a fierce proponent of a balanced and purpose-driven life. I am addicted to Peloton fitness classes, my husband’s cooking at DiVino Taipei, and my two dogs, Panna & Roma.

Quick Self-Reflection

Identify your core values to help you feel confident in your own beliefs, and from that foundation, you can focus on being curious and open to what someone from a different background or perspective might share.

Know Your Audience

Be mindful of who is sitting with you. The notion of “consider your audience” works whether you are giving a presentation at work to a C-level executive or if you’re talking casually in a group.

This Isn’t An Interrogation

When the moment comes that the dreadful topic comes up at the table, try to ask questions to better understand why the person holds the beliefs they do. Often, people learn more when they are listening rather than when they are talking.

Curiosity May Have Killed the Cat But...

...you’ll be fine. Approaching the conversation with open ears and curiosity can establish trust. Creating a space where everyone can share their views without fear of being judged is essential.
