Group golf therapy
Group Golf Therapy started as a mental health podcast disguised as a golf podcast. Alongside co-founders Bradford Wilson and Drew Westphal, it has grown into much more.
Through video, live events, and several podcast series, Group Golf Therapy is a space for people to better understand their relationships with the game, each other, and themselves.

arnold palmer invitational
The 2023 Arnold Palmer Invitational provided a timely opportunity for the Arnold & Winnie Palmer Foundation to ring the bell for its namesake and regain momentum lost since his passing. Strategically set inside Mr. Palmer’s 1,000-square-foot guest cottage at Bay Hill Club and Lodge, the Palmer Foundation needed to retell his remarkable life story, introduce a new legacy campaign, and compel a new wave of donors, all while ensuring his presence and impact were felt in a way true to The King’s signature character.
Following months of collaborative archival research and curation with the Palmer Foundation, the team and I transformed the cottage into a unique and immersive biographical exhibit. Fully designed and custom tents expanded the footprint by 2000 square feet of storytelling space, while maintaining the warm, familiar feeling at the core of Arnold Palmer’s cottage.
portland classic
As Media & PR Director for the 2021 Portland Classic, it was my job to ensure all coverage of the tournament properly echoed the brilliance of the competitors, as well as the feat of the championship's 50th anniversary and its reign as the longest-held LPGA event on the calendar.
The tournament's Media Center was the busiest, and had the widest diversity of outlets in its long history, contributing to a hugely successful spread of media coverage, and engaging interviews with players — including champion, Jin-young Ko.
