Professional Experience

Freelance writer, professional tourist, social media junkie, web wrangler, and project manager — I'm whatever the job needs. I have a diverse writing portfolio: ghostwriting, long form journalism, interviews, copywriting, business communications, and social media/SEO friendly web content. I’m versatile and can adapt my skills to any subject: finance, comic books, travel, pop culture, technology, mental health and sexuality are just a few I’ve explored. I’m passionate about telling stories people care about. I’m a photographer experienced in portraiture, landscape, food, and wedding photography. Oh, and Cats Around the World. My varied skills make me a great asset for travel journalism, event coverage, and whatever else you might need. I’m proficient with WordPress design, installation and support, social media marketing, graphic design, analytics, and content strategy. I can help shape your ideas into a reality, in the format best suited to engaging your customers.
