I’m a Boston based writer and digital marketer with over ten years of experience storytelling in a variety of mediums. 

Journalism

I’ve been writing professionally for print and online media outlets for over a decade. I’m the arts and culture editor at The Bay State Banner and a freelancer for many publications in Boston and beyond. I generally cover arts, culture, travel, and food but I also have experience with business and news beats.

Digital Marketing

For more than ten years I’ve executed digital marketing efforts for a variety of brands running the gamut from real estate and local events to medical spas and gift box retail. I’ve executed newsletters, blog posts, e-mail marketing campaigns, social media promotion, and website copy.

Content Creation

I have experience generated social media campaigns and content for Boston-area businesses as well as my own brand. I am adept at crafting unique, compelling stories through video and photography, capitalizing on trends and best practices without losing authenticity.
