I'm no Leonardo.

No, not the ninja turtle.
And not DiCaprio.
I'm talking about DaVinci.

But like him, I see the world as one big web of connected ideas.

I've spent the last decade helping tech founders and brands tell stories that make complex ideas feel simple. Whether I'm writing for a supply-chain SaaS company or ghostwriting for a startup founder, my goal is always the same: to make people care.

At Longbow Advantage, I serve as lead storyteller and content strategist, turning technical concepts into narratives that build trust and drive results. I've helped grow engagement by 50%, lift email CTR, and shape a consistent voice across campaigns, leadership content, and customer stories.

Before tech, I led creative and communications teams in the nonprofit world, producing live and digital experiences that connected people through story, music, and media. Those years taught me how to lead with empathy, think under pressure, and find meaning in the details.

I'm endlessly curious.
I love the Oxford comma.
And I still believe that creativity isn't just about making things, it's about seeing unique connections.

Culture PAYS. It’s a profit center.

Because how people FEEL translates into how they PERFORM. 

I create deep, lasting change across teams and organizations by combining elements of human evolution, neuroscience, and psychology to positively impact people and performance.

I’ll help you elevate your culture by building the very foundational elements that hold it up.

My years of HR experience allow me to partner with business leaders to craft strategic talent strategies that are aligned with mission and goals. 

And of course we’ll collaborate to create holistic culture roadmaps that have transformative effect…

But I also tackle the 3rd rail that keeps most companies stuck in mediocrity… the people piece of the puzzle, the deeper human issues that make or break a culture:

The insecure leaders, the hidden agendas, the jealousy and gossip, the conflicts and broken trust, the corrosive worries about scarcity, the issues around self-worth, the unresolved old baggage, and oh-so-much more.

By addressing the root cause issues, I turn your organizational culture into an ideal environment for employees to thrive and profits to grow.

You don’t have to choose between terminations or allowing toxicity. You don’t have to spend your resources on fire fighting when you can invest in fire prevention instead. 

Choose a better option. Work with me!

When we help people see the roadblocks that hold them back they can’t unsee it. This means meaningful change with multiplicative positive impact for them, their colleagues, and for the business overall.

Win, win, WIN!

❓How much profit could you save by rehabilitating the less than desirable behaviors of your key talent? 

❓What could rockstar managers do to improve retention and reduce your recruiting and hiring costs?

❓How much productivity and innovation could be captured if you could turn your culture killers into your culture ambassadors? 

❓How many dollars would a 10-15% increase in employee engagement yield?

❓What would you gain if your people were more open to change, more willing to collaborate and share knowledge?

❓How many issues could you avoid by shifting your employees into a positive mindset?

❓What would improving the satisfaction and well-being of your workforce add to the bottom line? 

Great corporate culture isn’t a nice-to-have; it’s an essential competitive advantage. It’s your unique ecosystem that can’t be easily duplicated. And it all begins and ends with your human capital.

Ready to turn your culture into a profit center?
