Check out what I can do, then
let’s talk about what I can do for you

I’m a writer, editor, and content strategist with a master’s degree in publishing and more than 12 years’ experience in magazines, online publishing, and communications. I’ve interviewed top CEOs, written monthly columns, copyedited magazines, worked on website redesigns, and conquered Tough Mudder in the name of journalism. I enjoy covering a wide array of topics, but those dearest to my heart are interior design, food and drink, parenting, and travel.
