Journalist, copywriter, and storyteller based in Phoenix.

Hi there!

Additionally, I served as a contributing author for the book Atlas Obscura Wild Life. I've helped conceive and co-host the podcasts The Life of the Mind: The Podcast About the Coen Brothers, Mental Platypus, and What The Fork? Exploring The Good Place. I've been a featured guest on Debatable on SiriusXM Volume and have served as a conference panelist discussing topics like marketing and social media management.

I am also a contributing editor for PHOENIX magazine, where I currently author the events section, a regular music column, and the magazine's paid marketing material. I also run my own copywriting business, contracting with several Arizona businesses and charities, including Phoenix Children's Foundation and Pinnacle Peak Family Dentistry.
