Professional Experience

A well-published and thoughtful freelancer covering everything from MTV awards to up-close interviews with the likes of Nikki Minaj. I’ve done simple information pieces and am even in the process of a full fiction novel (non-fiction memoir to follow.). In addition, I’ve done red carpet publicity as well as full media campaign management for celebrities and entrepreneurs alike.
