WORK HISTORY
Director of Communications @Forsyth Futures
Winston-Salem, NC, US
I lead communications in service of community-driven systems change, working at the intersection of data, storytelling, and relationships to shift how we understand and respond to systemic issues like housing and economic mobility. My role focuses on shaping narratives that reflect the realities, strengths, and priorities of the community, while translating complex, community-informed data into stories that people can see themselves in, and act on. I partner across sectors to support aligned, values-driven messaging and help build shared understanding among institutions, organizations, and community members. At the core of my work is a commitment to centering voices that are too often left out, and supporting communications that are grounded in equity, accountability, and care.
