I’m an editor, writer, and content strategist based in Los Angeles, CA.

For 12+ years, I’ve built editorial brands from the ground up and worked in dynamic roles in digital and print content production, rooted in cultural journalism. I’m here to tell the most interesting stories that earn loyal and engaged audiences.

I’m currently the senior commerce editor at Eater. Previously, I served as the editorial director at VICE’s shopping vertical and, before that, as the deputy culture editor of VICE.com.

I've made a career of identifying, creating, and shaping stories that will resonate with young, smart audiences, with a hands-on approach from pitch to publish, including copywriting, social packaging, launching verticals and franchises, and building visual branding.💋

I’m also really good at developing successful commerce verticals at established media platforms! If you like what I’m doing or want to learn more, please get in touch.
