I’m a business and technology writer invested in telling the stories of companies at the vanguard of American innovation. As an independent copywriter for the last eight years, I’ve partnered with creative agencies to produce concepts and branded features for companies including Salesforce, EY, Delta, Lincoln, Invesco, and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. My current roles include serving as a lead content writer for the thought leadership magazine published by Esri—the global market leader in geospatial technology, used by nearly every federal agency and half of Fortune 500 companies. My pieces on emerging technologies like GeoAI and digital twins reach and influence a wide audience of business executives. A contributing editor to The Wall Street Journal Magazine, I’m adept at interviewing experts and translating complex concepts into plain English. Trained as a journalist (and a cocktail bartender), I like asking big questions, arriving at answers through a mix of deep research and emotional intelligence. My curiosity and creativity as a writer help me tap into narratives that shape decision-making, leading to demand capture. With seven years of experience in email marketing, including content creation for the world’s top auction house, my approach to product relies on a strong sense of brand voice to gain trust. I also frequently write about topics of personal interest, including wine, hunting, and conservation.
