What I do
Chief Storyteller at Swell+Good
I work with incredible nonprofit organizations around the world, helping them identify, create, and share their stories. It’s a dream job in every possible way.
Marketing Strategist and Lead Copywriter at Chicago Sun-Times
These days, independent local journalism is more important than ever. Working in a newsroom in 2019 and 2020 has been eye-opening, challenging, and so rewarding. And yes, people still read the newspaper.
Freelance Writer
I work with a number of brands as a ghost writer, editor, and content creator. I’m full of words, and thankfully I have lots of opportunities to use them.
Wedding and Event Planner
When I’m not writing, I love to help people gather and celebrate. I’ve done everything from multi-day conferences to day-of wedding coordination to a series of philanthropic events with Her Royal Highness, The Princess Royal.
