Work With Me

Let’s work together to tell impactful, human-centered stories with a unique POV.

What I Offer to Brands

I can help you create content and marketing programs that will inform, engage and inspire your audience. My approach draws from my journalism experience to combine research with narrative storytelling. I ensure each piece of content reflects your brand’s vision and your customer’s experience. 

  • I can deliver feature stories, blog posts, customer stories and thought leadership content backed by brand messaging, industry research and customer insights.

  • Let me help you be strategic about content creation and distribution to drive your business goals. I can also create a plan for your editorial content needs.

  • I'll write copy for web, email, social and other channels that helps you get more leads and retain more customers.

  • I'll use my extensive editing experience to proofread and improve your copy. I can also fact-check messaging and research to help you build trust.

What I Offer to Media Outlets

I can cover science, tech, consumer culture, marginalized communities, politics and regional news, with a focus on feature stories and in-depth reporting. I spent years as a working journalist, from full-time gigs at local newspapers to freelancing for national and global outlets.

  • I will undercover interesting insights and new information about some of today's most pressing issues, whether about the environment or a new consumer trend, by using research and interviews.

  • I will help your audience understand a relevant or timely topic by distilling the complex backstory into an easy-to-understand article.

  • I can work on deadline to write short, accurate stories that help further our understanding about current news, drawing on my years of experience as a daily reporter.

  • I'm a thorough and detailed editor take on developmental editing as well as copyediting. I also have fact-checking experience with assignments from NPR's Latino USA and The Dallas Morning News.
