Dynamic Copywriter with a unique blend of agency and journalistic experience.

Agency work includes crafting compelling concepts and copy for high-profile clients like Wegmans, Bausch & Lomb, Corning, and Constellation Brands.

During the 2020 pandemic I helped run a public health & epidemiology trade journal, blending rigorous news research with engaging storytelling. I stay creatively active outside of writing by composing music and podcasting about history.
