I'm a Midwest gal who's followed her need for 24/7 sunshine to the West Coast. I’m also a writer with an eclectic background who’s parlayed her love of human connection into a professional career. I write words that entertain, educate, and empower others. I’m all the things an employer might want to hear: self-starting, detail-oriented, dedicated, and enthusiastic. And I’m some they don’t want to hear: real thorough. (We’re workin’ on it.)I have experience ranging from creative campaign development to technical-focused writing and design. I've executed existing visions and conceptualized my own for brands, artists, and orgs, including a web series about two girls trying to grow up while raising their crazy, disabled parents (Raising Adults) and a series of hilariously bizarre music videos for a band whose personality rivals their talent. (Imagine if John Waters and the Foo Fighters had a baby.) I'm also working on a feature-length documentary about chronic pain, ONE OF MANY, based on my lived experience as a caretaker.

I value communication, collaboration, absurdly detailed stories, common courtesy, and the cold side of the pillow. Hot take: Small talk is not bad. People are bad at small talk. If you give someone long enough, they always have something to share, and it’s nice when they do because you learn something about them you might not have otherwise.
