WARNING: Past performance is not indicative of future results. I cannot guarantee media coverage of your business, organization, or cause. With that said, I’ve arranged media coverage of Taylor Swift’s casket (google it for more info); a restaurant’s $615,000 lawsuit against New York City (also easily found on google); and a barber who moonlights as a salami maker (yep, also on google). Since 2020, I’ve arranged over 200 earned media placements in The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Los Angeles Times, The Boston Globe (including two front page stories), the New York Post, CNBC, The Wall Street Journal, INSIDER, CNN, MSNBC, New York Magazine, Slate, A/V Club, NBC Nightly News, Fast Company, and dozens of other top-tier publications and outlets. DM me to have a 15 minute conversation about getting PR for your business - or better yet book a 30 minute consultation!

I help people say what they mean—clearly, confidently, and without overthinking it. In my full-time role in emergency management, I’m used to communicating in high-pressure situations where the message actually matters. Whether it’s coordinating across agencies or writing time-sensitive updates, I’ve learned how to get straight to the point while still keeping it professional and human. That same skill translates here. If you have something to say but aren’t sure how to say it, I can help. I specialize in: • Professional emails and message rewrites • Cover letters and LinkedIn bios • Clear, polished communication for work or personal situations No fluff, no overly formal language—just clean, confident writing that sounds like you on your best day.
