Writer + Copyeditor

San Francisco, California

I'm a San Francisco-based freelance writer and copyeditor. My work has covered fashion, film, and personal essays. I'm also interested in women's rights, culture, dating & relationships, and food.

At 826 Valencia, I teach creative writing to students in grades 1-12, have copyedited our program publications, and am on the editorial board for the Spring 2024 Quarterly publication.

I was an in-house stylist, writer, and editorial assistant at Stitch Fix and a blog writer for Anomalie Bridal, where I helped build the brand's Voice & Tone Guide.

Besides executive producing and directing at Pocket Pictures, I also wrote and edited scripts, interviews, copy, pitches, the company slogan, and more. Most notably, I directed the video for SF Pride 2021, which played at the SF Giants Stadium (Oracle Park) in lieu of the annual parade due to the pandemic.

I've written personal essays for Business Insider, and my poetry has been featured in the science-driven literary journal Consilience. I was awarded an honorable mention in the WOW! Q4 2023 CNF Essay Contest, and most recently, a Poet and Author Fellowship from the Martha's Vineyard Institute of Creative Writing. I also write creative nonfiction and flash memoirs.

Across these roles and projects, I've worked in fast-paced environments (both structured and scrappy), written, edited, and formatted blog posts and articles with SEO optimization using CMS software like WordPress, curated and selected imagery and visuals, conceptualized, pitched, and worked with brands such as Samsung, Specialized Bicycles, Adobe, Google, and more. 

I'm open to freelance writing, editing, and copyediting.

Say hi, and let me know what you have in mind:)
