Professional Experience

A passionate, professional wordsmith and talented storyteller, I love language and wordplay, and am always looking for an opportunity to connect with others through writing. Whether you’re looking for a tagline or a profile, long or short form writing -- be it in the print or digital space -- every line of copy has a story to tell, and I want to help you tell it. With 10 years' experience writing and editing, spanning health and wellness, book publishing, political action, and premium cable digital marketing, I have a demonstrated knack for finding and developing a unique voice for every project in any sphere. Always on the hunt for new skills, knowledge and stories to tell, I hope I can use my talents to help you build your business, advocate for your cause or develop your personal brand.

HBO

The official companion site to Season 1 of the HBO Original Series, Vinyl. The interactive website, styled over music "zines" popular in the era, is home to eleven issues--a preview issue before the show's premiere, and one issue per episode. As the editor on this project, I researched and planned content for each "edition", executed interviews with talent, selected photos, and worked with our design, production, and social media teams to bring the full experience to life. The site was nominated for a 2016 Creative Arts Emmy.
