I’m a writer, editor and content strategist with 10 years of experience creating best-in-class content for mission-driven brands and publications.
I’ve loved writing since the time I was big enough to hold a pencil, and I’ve been editing my friends’ work since high school. Writing is the thing that gets me in a flow state and leaves me feeling focused and alive. To me, writing or editing a reported piece or an editorial essay is like putting together an intricate puzzle with all the pieces in the right spots.
It took me a long time to figure out how to make a career out of writing. Despite studying creative writing in college, I worked first as a teacher because I love helping people and collaborating. Slowly, I found my way back to writing full-time in 2014 and I haven’t looked back since.
From 2014 to 2021, I worked in the marketing departments for brands like evo, Expedia and REI Co-op. I loved this work but I often got stuck when trying to fit my love for coming up with ideas for engaging new audiences and reporting stories into the same job description. Now, I get to work as a writer, editor and strategist. On any given day, you might find me interviewing a source, providing structural edits to a fellow writer, and providing a 1:1 coaching call to brainstorm ideas for a new content vertical. Wearing all three hats is what keeps me happy and engaged—it also gives me a unique perspective as a writer, reader and consumer.
