I create content and content strategies for B2B SaaS companies. My background also includes freelance journalism, seven years working as a UI/UX specialist, an MFA in Creative Nonfiction, and experience managing a nonprofit.

I also use my journalism background to write expert-driven guides and blog posts. As part of a larger creative team, I have experience leading a multimedia strategy, including audio, video, interactive, and text-based content.

Recent industries I've dived into have included fintech, home services, translation and localization, eCommerce, and digital marketing.

I'm also deeply devoted to being an advocate for creating diverse, welcoming, healthy, and equitable corporate cultures.
