Editorial & Global Storytelling

Shaping stories that resonate, from field reporting to strategic content leadership.
I’m a journalist by training and at heart. That foundation still shapes everything I do. My years as a writer and editor for publications including The New York Times, Dwell, and Travel + Leisure sharpened my editorial judgement, copyediting and copywriting skills, and instinct for finding and developing strong stories.
I’ve built magazines and custom publications from the ground up; hired and mentored creative teams; and shaped and led content strategy across print, digital, social, video, and live events. As a writer, I’ve had the privilege of reporting stories from 52 cities and 17 countries across the globe, grounding my storytelling in cultural context, nuance, and a global point of view.
