Writer
San Francisco, California
I'm a San Francisco-based writer and comms person with a background in fashion and film, and currently working at a non-profit.
As an essayist specializing in dating and relationships, my work has appeared in Business Insider. I received an Honorable Mention in the WOW! Women on Writing Q4 2023 Creative Nonfiction Essay Contest and was recently awarded a Poet and Author Fellowship from the Martha's Vineyard Institute of Creative Writing. My poetry has been published in Consilience, a science-driven literary journal.
Previously, I co-ran a film production company, where I served as writer (developing, among other things, the company slogan), producer, and director, working with brands such as Samsung, Specialized Bicycles, Adobe, Google, and more. Most notably, I directed the video for SF Pride 2021, which played at Oracle Park (the SF Giants Stadium) in lieu of the annual parade due to the pandemic.
I'm available for freelance writing, editing, copyediting, and other creative and writerly endeavors.
Say hi, and let me know what you have in mind:)
