    I'm an experienced writer and editor with a strong background in digital marketing, fashion and home retail, and nonfiction ghostwriting. With over a decade of experience writing for retailers including Terrain, BHLDN, Lilly Pulitzer, and Soft Surroundings, I bring expertise to both print and digital collateral, ranging from email messaging, product copy, blog posts, and paid media content to print catalogs, product packaging, and in-store marketing materials. Beyond the retail space, I’ve worked as a freelance writer and editor for a variety of clients including financial services companies, commercial real estate firms, hotel brands, and nationally-recognized design and music blogs. Balancing a wide variety of freelance projects—often on tight timelines—has increased my efficiency and organizational skills as a writer, and made me adept at quickly switching between writing styles tailored to the needs of an assignment. I have also ghostwritten two home and garden design books: Terrain: Ideas and Inspiration for Decorating the Home and Garden (2018) Terrain: The Houseplant Book (2022)

    As a writer and editor, I create clear, concise content that communicates easily with readers. I specialize in admissions essays, SEO blogs, and bios, and I also have a strong background in web content, academic writing, non-fiction, fiction, and poetry. I have worked across a wide variety of sectors, from nonprofits and real estate to spirituality and wellness. I served as the Head Editor for Modern Singer Magazine for four years, and I am comfortable editing both long- and short-form pieces of all genres. I can provide detailed proofreading and copy editing, as well as more extensive developmental editing that includes larger issues of content, structure, tone, and character. As a professional opera singer, I am an excellent resource for artists, musicians, and everyone in the creative sphere. I specialize in creating professional bios and honing artistic resumes, as well as helping creatives translate those skills to non-artistic jobs in cover letters and resumes. I also have a minor in History and am a very capable academic and non-fiction writer, with a specialty in the Chicago Manual of Style. I received a Mellon Scholar Grant to write my article, “ ‘And if any person would meddle of my cause:' Anne Boleyn, Music, and Sexism.”

    I earned my J.D. from Villanova University School of Law and after three years of practicing law I chose to pursue a career in medicine. I am currently a medical student at Thomas Jefferson University and anticipate graduating in 2026. Although my career changed, my interest in research and academic writing remained in both fields. In law, I was a published author in Villanova’s Environmental Law Journal and was an acknowledged contributor on faculty articles. I also acted as an editor on the journal selecting, reviewing, and editing articles submitted for publication. After law school, I pursued business and tax law, focusing on tax policy research and editing blog posts on the most recent tax policy changes. Now that I have transitioned into health and science, I have assist laboratory research and article editing for students pursuing their Ph.D., as well as faculty publications. I have been a clinical research coordinator and research assistant, reviewing medical records and contributing to medical research publications. With this background, I have developed advanced skills in academic writing, editing, and preparation of both articles and application materials that span across multiple industries.

    *Active Emory and Princeton Alumni Interviewer* Over the years, beginning with my time as a Neuroscience and Western European Politics double-major at Emory University, I have learned that excellent writing always tells a story. Applying this lesson in practice has paid off: as a Master's student in Neuroscience at Princeton University, I received the most prestigious STEM fellowship available to graduate students in the United States, the NSF-GRFP. Similarly, after spending the next few years working as a consultant at a strategy consulting firm, I will be joining The Wharton School at UPenn as an MBA Moelis Advance Access Fellow. Alongside these successes, I have helped aspiring college and graduate students write impressive resumes, cover letters, CVs, research statements, statements of purpose, personal statements, and fellowship applications. In turn, this has helped my deserving mentees land their place at several elite colleges and graduate schools. Being inspired by their success, I am here to help you achieve the same! In our work together, I will ensure to not simply provide excellent editing and writing, but importantly consulting on how to elevate the structure, content, and story of your work.

    Hi there! I'm a current medical school student at Penn Med with extensive experience in college application counseling, tutoring, proofreading, editing, and writing. During my time at Williams College, I provided college advising to four high schoolers throughout their entire college application cycle, successfully supporting them in matriculating into excellent four-year colleges. I also tutored peers in chemistry and biology. During my gap years between college and medical school, I worked in medical journalism, writing over 500 articles on medical advances and editing hundreds of coworkers' articles. I will apply these professional and volunteering experiences, as well as my only learnings from my medical school and college application cycles, to editing your essays, providing you with feedback, and supporting your application to college or grad school. I'm also happy to apply these skills to editing resumes and cover letters.

    I am an experienced writer; I am very articulate, organized, clear, and concise, and I take good direction from other people. I can get done whatever needs to be completed. Not only have I written many academic papers during my time at Temple University, but I also wrote for my high school newspaper. Currently, I host a sports podcast for a sports radio network, but within that position, I have also written sports articles that have been posted on the network's website. One exciting fact is that one of the articles that I wrote and put on Twitter was about a college football player, who after he got drafted to the NFL, saw my article, read it, acknowledged it, and retweeted it.
