About Me

I'm an American who has been working in Beijing since my graduation from the University of Oregon in June of 2008. My formal training is in journalism and communication with an emphasis in public relations but my experiences also include arts administration, project management, event planning and related fields. I have a passion for communications work for nonprofits and government agencies, especially related to the arts.

I teach English as a second language at Geely University in Beijing. I'm currently looking for volunteer and freelance work with local organizations and businesses.
