About Me

I'm an experienced journalist, copywriter, editor, and storyteller with a passion for finding new and important stories to tell in a way that resonates with readers.

I received an M.F.A. in Creative Writing with an emphasis on Creative Nonfiction from UNC Wilmington and a B.F.A. in Dramatic Writing (screenwriting and playwriting) from New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts.

I write about pretty much anything and everything (seriously) including, restaurants/bars, travel, sports (I had a 49ers column at SFist for nine years), lifestyle, fashion/beauty, opinion pieces, interviews, and more. I've even put my gigantic Saint Bernard to good use by reviewing dog products (Note: you can put a 150-pound dog in a onesie meant to control shedding, but you can't make him like it).

My work has appeared on Thrillist, Eater SF, Eventbrite, SFist, The Nob Hill Gazette, Adobe, The Bold Italic, Buzzfeed, xoJane, Dogster, CBS, Time Out, WineCountry.com, Culture Trip, Yelp’s business blog, Zagat, Thumbtack, Patreon, SteveHarvey.com, and more.

I also have over 10 years of experience as copywriter and content strategist for brands like Victoria's Secret, NorCal Cannabis, Sephora, AutoDesk, Blue Shield of California, MyFitnessPal, and others.

And, yes, in case it wasn’t already abundantly clear, I am a big fan of the Oxford comma.
