Creative chameleon (writer by trade) with 10 years in advertising, from agency, to in-house, and back again. I’ve developed brand voices from scratch and created content for tech, beauty, food, healthcare, toys, DTC brands, and lots more. I make people laugh, cry, think, and ultimately buy stuff.

Snarky but kind, sardonic but positive, and I get along with everyone.

Hobbies include my Newfie Moses, my cat Plum, horror and sci-fi films, reality TV, deep belly laughs, interior design, gardening, and making skincare.

My resume is below. Let’s meet!
