ABOUT
I’m a writer and creative strategist who kicked off
my career with the book blog I launched in the 7th
grade—and still run 15+ years later.
Drawing from a deep well of research, my specialty
is differentiating tones, and engineering narrative to
strategically package and scale content. I pick up hard
skills and new technologies especially quickly.
Throughout my career, I’ve developed a 360-degree
view of the marketing and creative pipelines, so I can
strategize and operate anywhere on the funnel with
a precise understanding of how to best translate
my work for clients and cross-functional teams.
I’m especially weak for any project related to books,
psychology, nature, or “a strong sense of place.”
PS. You might find some good reads and psych studies
hidden around the site. You can take the girl out of
the book blog, but—
