My Story

I've been writing since I could hold a pencil.

I find great joy and satisfaction in editing, especially when I'm helping someone else share their passion with the world.

In addition to my 15 years of experience helping others articulate their most transformative, out-of-the-box ideas, I am trained in a broad range of styles and forms including journalism, academic writing, creative writing, playwriting, screenwriting and sketch comedy.

In other words: I am fluent in Customer, Storyteller, Reporter, Professor, Clown and other languages, and love helping people who speak these different social languages communicate with one another.

I have B.A. degrees in Journalism & Mass Communication and Sociology from NYU. In 2018 I earned my M.A. in Social Science from UCLA, where I studied and wrote about how values are embedded in the words we use.

Spoiler alert: They're everywhere!

Along the way, I've ventured down many paths:

When I'm not making timelines of my entire life story on Canva, I get to devote most of my time to the following:

Pack Hollywood Comedy Festival 2024 ("PackFest")

I'm leading PR and partnerships for our theater's inaugural comedy festival, taking place over Labor Day weekend.

And when I'm able... I make big glittery messes in our garage, some of which I share on my Instagram, @TheWhimsyGuild.

Go ahead. Make my day.
