I’m a freelance lifestyle writer who’s nimble across verticals, currently dialed into the commerce space. Often writing through the lens of psychology, my creative strategy savvy makes me scrappy in pitching, scaling, and translating content across a variety of media. My favorite projects are intensely aesthetic or related to travel, and I aim to land firmly in travel.

I’m a contributor at The Wall Street Journal, Cosmopolitan, PEOPLE, Town & Country, TripSavvy, Real Simple, Southern Living, Better Homes & Gardens, Well+Good, Matador Network, Elite Daily, Plein Air Social, and more. I write everything from entertainment to style to food and beverage.

I’m currently open to other editorial work and can circle back with pitches or work on assignment. I’m glad to be added to any freelance rosters! I’ve also written quite a bit of copy in my time; I can provide my copy portfolio and further qualifications upon request.

I don’t always keep this page updated, but you can always reference my Authory portfolio or MuckRack profile; neither site grabs every link, but it’s a place to start.
