Creative and thoughtful writer, editor, and educator. I have more than 10 years of writing, source building, and research experience, and have proven ability to distill complex topics into compelling stories. Talented in building trust, proceeding with curiosity, and gracefully juggling multiple projects and personalities, I am a skilled writer across formats, including print, digital, and social media.As a writer, I have extensively covered the cannabis, hemp, and psychedelics industries. Currently, I am working in marketing and communications in the NYC nonprofit space. Some work highlights include acting as a representative for The Entertainment Community Fund, speaking on panels discussing dance career transition and connecting artists and organizations all across the country with the resources they need to succeed (proud member AEA!).A skilled educator, I have taught the arts to students of all ages, and have directed and choreographed dozens of productions. I love my time as an adjunct professor teaching Inside the Arts of NYC - a subject that always inspires and thrills me. I am also a poised public speaker and have been featured on the podcasts, "The Let's Go Eat Show," "In the Know 420," "Pas de Deux," and "Dance/NYC." Additionally, I have been a guest lecturer for the Arts in NYC for Florida State University and Social Issues for the University of Texas at Austin, and also appeared as a panelist for The Cannabis and Hemp Association speaking about hemp media.Passionate about communication and collaboration, I enjoy working with diverse teams and stakeholders, bringing clarity to chaos and shape to ambiguity to deliver compelling work. My goal is to use my writing, marketing, and educational skills to empower others.
