Professional Experience

I love telling stories that can change people's lives, whether as a writer, an editor, or a strategist advising how to reach specific audiences to increase engagement. My career, education, and creative pursuits reflect my diverse interests, from public policy to screenwriting to environmental issues. I'm a great problem solver and take a proactive, curious approach to work projects, and I value working with diverse teams. I look forward to hearing how I can assist you by completing a writing assignment or consulting personally on a strategic project!

Until November 2017, I directed content strategy and operations at Bureau Blank, a NYC-based web design firm specializing in nonprofit and government clients. From 2012-2015, I worked full-time at GRACE Communications Foundation, an environmental philanthropy, where I wrote blog posts, newsletters, and managed multiple social media accounts focused on food, water, and energy issues. I've also worked at WITNESS, as a public policy consultant for NYC, and a blogger for Idealist.org. Among my writing and editing experience: web content, newsletters, white papers, brochures, social media content, and scripted remarks.
