Senior level CD/Copywriter with a curious nature. A trait that serves me well in today's ongoing battle for media attention. Every brand has a personality, my job is to identify and articulate it in a way that’s impossible to ignore. With an extensive background in advertising and PR, I bring a unique perspective that sees the world through a wide lens – like a communications anthropologist hunting KPIs.
Writing is my passion. I know how to say a lot with very little. Whether it’s creating a long-form video script or a tweet on behalf of a brand, I sweat the details because every word matters. Contact me with any and all creative challenges, I’m here to help.

In addition to being a mediocre guitarist, I’m the proud owner of a theremin.
