Copy Director | Brand Strategist | Copywriter
As a communicator with 12 years of copywriting experience, 8 years building brands, and 6 years managing and mentoring high-performing creative teams, I help companies demystify their differentiators — and learn how to talk about them like it's second nature. With a creative vision and strategic approach, I generate and cultivate ideas, bringing the best of them to the surface and saving the rest to kickstart the next brainstorm.

I’ve helped startups and enterprises across industries develop data-driven brand narratives and integrated campaigns that help them stand out in competitive markets and capture their audiences' attention with relatable, compelling creative. I create cohesive brand experiences that incorporate every touchpoint — external and internal — and skillfully translate complex ideas and offerings into messaging that delights B2C and B2C customers.

As a brand creative and strategist, I celebrate imagination and get (adorably?) excited about big ideas and details alike. As a writer, I obsess over word choice and shamelessly nerd out over m-dashes. As a manager, I value and foster curiosity above all.

If we work together on your brand, you’ll hear me talk a lot about “personality.” So here’s a bit about mine.
  • Essentials: Extroverted introvert, INFJ, Cancer, optimist, skeptic, homebody, self-starter, learner-by-doer.
  • Curious to a fault: Almost everything captures my interest. Superpower or fatal flaw?
  • Born listener: It’s more than just waiting for your turn to talk.
  • Volunteer: LGBTQ+ crisis counseling, fighting hunger abroad.
  • DIY’er: I’m renovating a Bronx brownstone. More This Old House, less Fixer Upper.
  • Daily brain exercise: At least 15 min learning another language.
  • Nerd alert: Golden Age comics, LoTR, Star Trek…. So many nerdoms, so little time.
  • Dream move: Iceland’s Westfjords
  • Guilty pleasure: Curling up with a good cult documentary.
  • Annoying habit: Turning everything into a philosophy. And talking with my hands.
