Eighteen years ago, I accidentally began practicing trauma-informed storytelling.

While studying journalism in college, I also worked as a peer educator and survivor advocate at my university’s sexual assault prevention and resource center, supporting students affected by sexual violence, intimate partner violence, and stalking.

As I trained in trauma-informed advocacy, I began asking: What would it look like to apply trauma-informed care to storytelling?

Long before the term was widely recognized, I was building what I now call trauma-informed storytelling: a practice that treats stories not as commodities, but as shared responsibility.

In 2018, I began offering trauma-informed communication services to nonprofits and commercial entities alike. 

I spent more than eight years with YouTube as a Culture and Trends Specialist, researching how online communities form and evolve. My insights informed brand strategy, major marketing campaigns, and creator storytelling initiatives.

In 2022, I began my work as an Innovation Storytelling Manager at The Rockefeller Foundation, where I led editorial strategy and impact narratives highlighting a $50M+ global portfolio of 60+ grantees, and focusing on emerging technologies, including the work of Hello Tractor, AI tools to end forced labor, and digital public infrastructure.

In 2025, I took the leap to run Voices Editorial full-time — my trauma-informed consultancy devoted to helping organizations amplify community stories and impact with care, clarity, and strategy.

Today, I partner with organizations focused on supporting survivors of sexual violence and intimate partner violence, mental health, gender equity, philanthropy, and digital media.

Previous and current clients include Polygraph for YouTube, Exhale to Inhale, The New York State Alliance Against Sexual Violence, Resonant Voices, When Bearing Witness, Feminist Self-Defense, CARE, The PurpLE Health Foundation, South Asian SOAR, Resource Sharing Project, and more.

My storytelling foundation is rooted in journalism, a passion I continue to pursue.

My work has appeared in HelpGuide, Psychology Today, SELF Magazine, YOGA + Life, NBC, Ms. Magazine, and Thrillist, often exploring mental health, survivorship, online communities, and reproductive justice. Now, you can find my regular writing on my Substack, Girls Got Thoughts.

Across every partnership — and every training — my goal is simple: To make storytelling feel safer for survivors, for communities, and for the storytellers themselves. Because when stories are told with care, they build trust, integrity, and belonging.

For the past 17 years, I’ve worked alongside gender-based violence, domestic violence, sexual violence, and mental health organizations to tell stories and build communication processes rooted in survivor dignity and lived experience. This trauma-informed foundation shapes every client project and relationship.

I’m drawn to work that is complex and deeply human. Whether supporting survivor-serving nonprofits, philanthropic initiatives, or innovation and data-driven teams, I translate layered ideas into narratives that are clear, resonant, and accessible — without losing their nuance and human-qualities.

By centering consent, storyteller agency, and safety, my communication services strengthen relationships, deepen understanding, and move meaningful change forward — so your storytelling reflects not just what you do, but what you stand for.
