As a communications specialist, I develop web content for University of Colorado Boulder’s ATLAS Institute, an interdisciplinary institute for radical creativity and invention. I also lead the communications effort for CU Boulder’s Community Engagement Design and Research Center (CEDaR).
As a journalist, my award-winning articles have appeared in the New York Times, Rocky Mountain News, Denver Post, Boulder Daily Camera and the Longmont Times-Call. I have produced radio programs for KGNU, KRCC and AARP national radio, and I am trained in photography, video, audio and Adobe Premiere (video editing) as well as Photoshop. I also have experience in grant writing and event planning.
As a volunteer I helped bring at-risk Sudanese women from a refugee camp to Boulder, Colorado, worked with my then-13-year-old daughter to start a weaving project in rural Kenya and successfully implemented an inclusion campaign to bring awareness of people with disabilities to the Boulder Jewish community.
I am a lover of lifelong learning. My training includes master’s degrees in both the environmental sciences and journalism, a certificate in multimedia, and non-degree classes from ICTD (Information and Communication Technologies for Development) Case Studies to photojournalism and digital bootcamp.
When I'm not working, I'm camping in national parks, budget traveling around the world, gardening, running on our beautiful paths, or geeking out on genealogy.
