About me

I used to stay at home instead of going to slumber parties so I could write stories on my parents' iMac. Maybe I was just never invited to slumber parties in the first place, but either way, I regret nothing. Whether I'm concepting for an international campaign or trying to nail the perfect Instagram caption for a friend, I am unconditionally in love with writing. 

Since moving to San Francisco in 2014, I've had the opportunity to work both freelance and full-time for some excellent agencies and clients in the Bay Area. I have experience in it all — TV, print, digital, social, large-scale experiential campaigns, and website content. I'm always up for new challenges and chances to collaborate.

When I'm not writing, you can find me riding horses, listening to punk rock, or trying to win my dog's affection.
