In the last 5 years as the media industry has seen a lot of destabilization (longer term stability and career growth is important to me) I started to think about other ways my writing could live in the world. I’m incredibly delighted by the lateral ease that comes with contributing copy to brands and businesses. Each time I have the opportunity to write for a DTC brand’s blog, social, or packaging, clients leave satisfied with the messaging I have provided. I think this is because I was forged in the best place for learning to be a writer: journalism. Writing copy for commercial clients has swiftly blossomed into my favorite part of my work. It’s thrilling to dive deep into one specific topic and see where we can take it together.

In the nearly 9 years I have been writing for the internet via various digital media publications, I have been a Dating and Sex Staff writer for Elite Daily, media freelancer for The Cut, product reviewer for Best Products, and a commerce writer for Mashable — just to name a few. I have also published pieces with Refinery29, Allure, The Skimm, day, BuzzFeed, Them, Gay Times, Curran, and more.
