The right brain for your team’s left brain.

I'm a lifelong writer with 15 years' experience in copywriting, marketing coordination, project management, storytelling, and all manner of critical communication channels: UX optimization, business and sales communications, email marketing, editorial, creative branding, ad copy, content marketing, training, and more. I approach my work as a daily practice and as an art, balancing more structured, data-centric teams with intuition, analysis (psychological, rhetorical, creative), and positivity. 

Creating order out of corporate creative chaos.

In addition to writing and editing, I've used a number of content and project management platforms and tools (including UpWork, Wordpress, Zapier, Asana, AirTable, Intercom, Edgar, and more) to build content marketing frameworks, and to manage both in-house and remote teams. I've also crafted marketing personas using high-level data and research, lead and supported branding initiatives, and worked closely with growth, product, and marketing professionals in the heart of San Francisco's Techopolis, all the way to the great Midwest. 

Let’s all mind our minds.

A champion for mental health awareness, I earned several credits towards a graduate degree in counseling before opting instead to use my education to contribute to my teams' efforts to influence users and audiences, as well as to simply have a more supportive, positive impact on everyone I meet and work with. 

I'm a textbook INFP: quiet in meetings, egalitarian, perceptive, introspective—the type of person author Susan Cain says the business world needs more of. I write long texts, emails, and Slack messages, and I say "hi" to kids and dogs first. (Whoops.)
