The Ascent is a community of documenters & top-100 publication on Medium with over 40,000 members. I created The Ascent as a personal blog, then grew it into what it is today: a fast-rising online publication drawing in over 200,000 views per month.

MakeUseOf's mission is to help users deconstruct the world of technology and gadgets. During my tenure as a part-time staff writer, I wrote 120+ articles on a variety of tech and social media-related topics, reaching an audience of up to 20 million.

GE's "EmojiScience" Campaign

I spearheaded a hugely successful Snapchat campaign from a creative and copy perspective at NYU's science lab in collaboration with Bill Nye. Super proud of everything in that sentence.

RITZ Crackers' "Life's Rich Rivalries" Campaign

I devised, wrote, and helped cast and direct a socially-driven commercial for RITZ Crackers that aired in parts of the US and Mexico and was viewed 5.6 million times online.

GE's "Drone Week" Campaign

I visited 9 airports in 8 days to lead creative execution on GE's #DroneWeek campaign. We live-streamed the inside of 5 GE facilities—where they build jet engines, locomotives, gas and wind turbines—to Periscope, all from a flying drone.

Stride Gum's "Heaven Sent" Campaign

I led the voice development of Stride Gum's brand revival on social media, which coincided with professional skydiver Luke Aikins's "Heaven Sent" jump—25,000 feet without a parachute. The stunt garnered over 1.5 billion impressions worldwide.

Ideal team

I'm used to working with teams of all sizes, whether one-on-one, a large group, or by myself. I prefer a hands-off management style and clients who are looking to make a splash in their respective industries.
