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 am a creative writer from New York City, where I began my professional foray into writing in the theater and performance art community. Today I am a seasoned playwright and award-winning screenwriter. Though I have a tendency for the stage and screen, I am a creative writer first and foremost. I have written children's stories for learn-to-read platforms, performed art criticism, financial blogging, and more. No matter what the topic, I use my creativity to infuse any medium and engage readers.

Are you struggling to stand out in a saturated market or want to finally connect with your audience in a way that feels, well, real? I help brands, founders, and creatives turn big ideas into high-performing content that drives traffic and builds trust. With 10+ years of experience as a journalist, screenwriter, and SEO strategist, I bring a rare combination of strategic thinking and compelling storytelling to everything I do. Whether it's optimizing a blog or ghostwriting a lead magnet that actually converts, I do something that the AI's can't: really help people feel through the power of story. Because we're all just stories in the end, right? 📝The Facts Top-rated freelance writer with 10+ years of experience in digital publishing and content creation. My work has generated millions of hits across multiple platforms, and continues to drive engagement long after it's been published. 🧠The Deeper Info I have a degree in Journalism and am well-versed in industry-standard styles, SEO, and content strategies that grab readers' attention and keep them coming back for more. I focus on creating a unique voice for my clients that matches their brand aesthetic and creates an authentic relationship with their audience and customers. I have also spent large chunks of my career in the film & TV business, which means I know firsthand how to craft a story that emotionally resonates. And has that "wow" factor that keeps audiences glued to the screen. 💗Projects I Love 📈 SEO + Content Strategy -Keyword research + SEO blog writing (up to 2,000+ words) -Full content calendars & topical authority planning -Content audits + optimization reports ✍️ Conversion & Brand Copy -Landing pages, lead magnets, and email sequences -Brand story / About Us rewrites -LinkedIn thought leadership & ghostwriting 🎬 Creative Consulting -Narrative scriptwriting + tone-sensitive copy -Script consultations -E-books & course writing for educators, therapists, and creators ✒️My Philosophy I genuinely believe in the power of good writing and its vital role in the digital age. I believe the best tool to connect with customers is a great story, but I also love to play the "algorithm game" so that great content makes it in front of the people who need to see it. 🙈A Stupid Fact You'll Remember Longer Than You Want To In 1987, American Airlines saved $40,000 by eliminating one olive from each salad served in first class. If you're ready to take your digital presence to the next level and build an online voice that engages your customers and truly reflects YOU, let's work together!
