I am a professional writer, editor, and creative content producer. I am passionate about sharing stories and ideas through writing and content curation, and can frequently be found seeking out convivial atmospheres and ebullient creatives. 

After graduating from the University of Iowa in 2008 with an English degree proudly in hand, I began as a technical writing intern. While the 9-to-5 hours were filled with learning about software, apps, SEO, B2B/B2C trends, and product innovation, the after-hours were spent starting a fashion blog (in the good old WordPress days), playing roller derby, and freelancing in fashion writing.

In 2013, after realizing that there were some adventures too large to ignore, I went full-time freelance to spend time traveling and raising a new addition to the family. My solo career has included writing for numerous startups, established organizations, and public figures, as well as taking on media assignments with national and regional publications, such as Milk, HEYMAMA, Lenny Letter, DSM Magazine, Iowa Architect Magazine, and Living Details. Other projects include editorial work with global influencers such as Wacoal, KADE, Stylebuy, Nouvel Heritage, FORM Couture, Belle en Argent, Hudson George, Renaissance Marriott, Copy Gurus (a London-based agency), Angi/HomeAdvisor, and American Flat.

From June 2022 to June 2025, I served as a Senior Writer and Content Strategist for Stride, Inc., collaborating with product and curriculum teams to understand user behaviors and uncover new opportunities for engagement, discovery, and learning.

Outside of brand projects, I am pursuing some near-and-dear personal writing endeavors, including an adventure fiction novel manuscript and a small collection of poetry. I love running on tracks, exploring new cities, going for walks in the forest, hanging out in bookstores, and soaking up as much of this big, beautiful life as I can.
