Currently open to full-time, contract, and consulting roles.

I write the story, then build the system that lets it scale.

I'm a writer and content strategist who partners with founders, executives, and technology companies, writing long-form features, founder interviews, and executive thought leadership, then building the editorial strategy, brand messaging, and website systems that carry that voice consistently across every surface.

§ About

I write under my own byline when building editorial authority, and I build the brand and editorial systems that let that writing scale, website messaging, content strategy, and visual identity that stay consistent across every touchpoint. Writing is the craft; strategy is what makes it repeatable.

Outside of client work, I'm usually reading poetry, chasing a spontaneous 10K, or figuring out how to say more with fewer words.
