      2022 - 2024
      Master of Science - MS Strategy

      I learned how to turn a problem into a playground. And a bunch of technical skills, too.Some accolades: Winner, 2024 BC Sprint (Arby’s). Gold, Richmond Ad Club (Brady). Produced work (Greenswell). Shortlisted, Young Ones (Velveeta). Recipient of Chaney Merit Scholarship and VCU Merit Scholarship.

      I read Shakespeare, drew supply/demand curves, and drank beer on hikes.

  • Experience

    • The Episcopal Diocese of Virginia

      Aug 2010 - Aug 2022

      Youngest person to lead clergy recruitment for the largest diocese in the Episcopal Church (a liberal, inclusive, but aging denomination). Doubled the pool of applicants and lowered the average age by seven years. Learned to research like a monastic, pitch like a preacher, and distill the brand identities of people that all seem wildly different and churches that all seem pretty similar. Supervised a full-time assistant and trained 70+ committee members. *The actual title was "Vocations Minister" but that doesn't tell you much does it? Show less
