ABOUT PRISCILLA
Stories have always been at the center of my work.
My career has taken me from journalism and magazine publishing to executive communications, higher education and strategic storytelling.
I have spent my career finding, shaping and telling stories about people, institutions, history, culture, education and transformation. Whether I am interviewing a university president, writing about life in Paris, developing executive communications or telling the story of someone whose experience deserves a wider audience, I begin with the same question:
What is the story that matters?
My life and work have also crossed borders. I lived and wrote in Paris, am fluent in French and continue to draw inspiration from France, travel, history and the ways place shapes identity.
Today, my work brings together writing, editorial leadership, communications strategy, history and advocacy.
I am also a two-time breast cancer survivor. That experience has deepened my understanding of storytelling as something more than communication. Stories preserve experience, connect people and sometimes help someone else feel less alone.
Across all of my work, I remain interested in the intersection of story, history, culture and impact.
