About Me
I have demonstrated success in a wide range of roles, from content creation to large-scale team leadership to magazine publication to grassroots fundraising. In a media environment that is always evolving, I have the diverse skill set that meets the needs of this ever-changing landscape.
Before everything else, I am a writer.

In addition, I have tangible experience with brand and PR copywriting as well as content strategy and creation for various social media platforms. This is all to say that the breadth of my experience is what sets me apart in an oversaturated and fragmented culture. I pride myself on my ability to mold my talents to the goals of the brand, the sensibilities of the audience, and the strengths of the medium.
