About

I am a versatile and results-driven writer and editor with a passion for taking complex information and crafting it into a compelling narrative that makes a difference. With a background spanning journalism, content strategy, and project management, I excel in driving impactful storytelling across various platforms. In a previous life I was a political journalist, covering beats like government affairs, voting rights, and redistricting for daily newspapers like The Virginian-Pilot and the Philadelphia Inquirer. Then came 2020, a presidential election like no other, and COVID-19. Cue burnout. So I pivoted to a place where I can use my editorial, writing, and storytelling skills to greater effect. I'm currently managing all content for the membership association Women in Retail, where we empower women to become more authentic, stronger leaders. In my free time, I volunteer with my local nonprofit conservancy, helping with social media and grant writing to preserve, protect and grow our trails, greenspace and watershed in Philadelphia. My other passions include making the world greener and more sustainable, slipping Taylor Swift references into daily conversations, keeping my 20+ houseplants alive, and traveling.
