Hi. I’m Corrie.
Although I’m a passport-carrying citizen of the United States, I’m also a wanderer and adventurer who’s called Europe, West Africa, and the Middle East home—picking up languages, stories, and a habit of paying attention along the way. Hailing from Boston and a true New Englander at heart, I’ve been known to occasionally “pahk the cah.”
I’ve had the privilege of helping some fascinating people and organizations share their stories with the world: a retired underwater archaeologist, the first female mayor of a rural West African community, a scrappy startup that became one of the most beloved brands in the U.S., and a mother who turned the death of her son into a fight to end gun violence.
I’m part bookworm, part history buff, all Gen Xer with a 1986 Journey concert t-shirt to prove it. I’m a roll-up-your-sleeves-and-get-your-hands-dirty type with the heart of an artist, the mind of an academic, and just enough moxie to believe the two aren’t mutually exclusive.
What I love most about my work, besides getting to rub shoulders with fascinating human beings?
The opportunity to have a hand in making the world a little better through the power of story.
