Writer & Creative Strategist

I’m a writer, editor, and digital storyteller who creates marketing, product, and lifestyle content around health, travel and other topics ranging from furniture to lifestyle to supplements and prescriptions.

On the editorial side, I know my way around a style manual and put my MFA in creative writing to use penning articles and essays on culture/health, and editing indie books, pamphlets, and zines.

Work

My career has revolved around different aspects of storytelling. I’ve worked as a culture editor at Time Out Chicago, got my MFA from Northwestern University, and co-founded a literary blog. These days, I write and strategize content, mentor other writers, and work to improve copy and editorial processes through improving processes and ensuring style consistency. My hybrid marketing/publishing background gave me a great foundation for helping organizations find their most authentic narrative. Want to tell a story together?
