As a Legal Storyteller, I bridge the gap between the legal and media worlds, using my background in investigative journalism and video production to deliver powerful narratives for attorneys and their clients. My work centers on crafting settlement documentaries, day-in-the-life videos, and demand videos—stories that go beyond mere facts to resonate with the human experience. I’ve seen firsthand the impact of strategic storytelling on legal outcomes, and I’m committed to helping attorneys communicate their cases in ways that drive results. A former professional screenwriter with nearly two decades of investigative reporting and producing experience, including three Emmy nominations, I bring a high standard of journalism and a creative, impactful approach to every project. My process is research-driven: I dig deep through public records, analyze court documents, and engage with the finer details to uncover elements that give each story its fullest context. Whether it’s uncovering OSHA reports, logging body-worn camera footage, or bringing the voices of families to life, I believe every narrative should be built on a foundation of truth and emotional clarity. I currently lead Clear Eyed Media, specializing in legal media services and leveraging my experience to transform complex legal stories into compelling, accessible content. From wrongful death cases to personal injury, I’m dedicated to creating narratives that support attorneys in securing fair settlements for their clients. I aim to support legal professionals with media that not only informs but also resonates with adjusters, defendants, and sometimes even juries. I also run Tribute Video Pro, producing personalized tribute videos celebrating lives and moments worth remembering. This work has allowed me to bring a similar storytelling approach to personal occasions, blending professional videography with an intimate look at individuals’ lives. Each project reminds me of storytelling's power to connect and convey meaning, whether in a legal context or a personal one. Driven by a belief in the power of story to influence and inspire, I’m here to help attorneys and clients present their cases authentically and precisely. I see storytelling as an essential tool for justice and creating lasting impact.

I have been in marketing for nearly two decades after watching the movie "What Women Want" and telling myself I wanted to work in marketing. Starting at the age of 16 as a telemarketer, I managed to work up the different levels and now specialize in demand generation, content marketing, and marketing automation, working with a variety of tools such as HubSpot, Wistia, PartnerStack, Pendo, Riverside, StoryLane, Google Adwords, and WebFlow. Over the years, I have been fascinated by all things marketing and technology. Even though my career started with telemarketing, trade show demonstrations, and graphic design, it quickly transitioned into web design, digital marketing, and content marketing in 2009. The reason I love digital marketing is that it is always changing. Although businesses should stay true to their brand, values, and strengths, they always have new ways of sharing their stories, values, and advice through different channels. I am continuously excited to discover and implement these new strategies in the companies I work for. Having experience with small businesses and startups as well as working for marketing agencies and Fortune 500 companies, I understand the benefits of creating processes and structure so that all members of the team can engage and collaborate and create a positive experience for customers. I truly believe that if you want to go fast, go alone; but if you want to go far, go together. By working together and building off the strengths of everyone on the team, the sky truly is the limit.

Both keep me sharp, and both remind me that progress happens step by step, not all at once.
