I’m a writer, freelance editor, and artist seeking diverse, creative career opportunities. I recently graduated from Emerson College with a BFA in Creative Writing. I’ve been writing and creating for as long as I can remember, and I’m excited to start putting my skills into action!

As an editor, I want to help you create the truest version of your work. I’ve found a lot of joy in working one-on-one with authors on a piece of writing until it’s exactly what they want it to be. I’m available for developmental editing, copyediting, and minor ghostwriting projects.

As a writer, my work seeks to inspire and provoke my audience. My goal is always that you walk away from my pieces with more questions than answers, and with a fire lit in your belly. I write fiction and non-fiction primarily, but I dabble in poetry from time to time.

I’m interested in any and all projects, so please don’t hesitate to reach out!
