Hello!
I’m a writer, editor, and marketing content strategist. In a past life as a full-time journalist, I covered TV, film, books,politics, reproductive rights, and celebrity news. My most recent role was at Kinship’s online magazine and at Adopt a Pet.
My formative years were in magazine editing and reporting, and I have experience with celebrity and activist profiles and features that explore trends, social change, and queer narratives. Even in my freelance work in copywriting and content marketing, I’ve made it my main mission to help elevate queer stories at the mainstream publications where I’ve worked.
I also have experience in local and state news, where I worked in audience engagement, copy-edited, managed social media accounts, and advanced the storytelling to reach their full potential. I am fluent in SEO best practices and know how to make a story shine across social media.

From 2019 to 2021, I was the weekend editor at ELLE.com, where I edited, wrote, and managed social media on the weekends. I was also a regular freelance contributor to the site, where I covered culture, entertainment, and queer issues.
