Summary

I began my career trajectory as a copywriter, cultivating brand-voiced, customer-targeting blogs & website content for companies. From there, I learned the data-side, the tech, the social and everything I needed to know, all while writing constantly.

Portfolio

Objectification, Censorship, and Global Femaleness

This is an article for SOMA Magazine - a culture, fashion, and art publication online & in print - where I interview prominent fashion designer Elnaz Gargari and we discuss feminism and globalism in fashion, her recent awards and her inspiration for her work.

8 Reasons Conscious Companies Should Hire Remote Employees

I wrote this piece for Conscious Company Magazine earlier in the year, motivated by how often companies choose not to hire employees remotely for arbitrary reasons. I make the case for remote employees not just for the benefit of those employees' satisfaction, but for the larger impact.

About Bodies: Assuming the Insides by Perceiving the Outsides

I wrote this thinkpiece about body positivity and what we assume about thin bodies, muscular bodies, heavy bodies and every body. I make the case that what we assume about a person's exterior isn't implicative at all of who they are, what they're capable of, or what they believe.

An Interview with Judith Estrada Garcia: Best in Show

I work on the executive board of my city's Arts council. At our recent gallery show - themed in celebration of women - we chose Judith Estrada Garcia as Best in Show. I interview her about the impact of her immigration to the US, her inspiration for her anti-sexual-assault painting, and more.

5 Things You Didn't Know Private Investigators Can Do For Attorneys

I wrote this blog post - and countless other pieces of content - for my client Trustify. This piece aims to address that it isn't just jealous spouses or big corporations who employ private investigators - there is actually a symbiosis between attorneys and PIs that should be addressed.
