About

I write things.

By nature and degree, I’m a writer. I’ve always had a deep love and appreciation for words and the way they can seamlessly string together to create stories. For years, I practiced the way of the words and learned to master them in the traditional sense of the name. Yet, there’s nothing traditional about the world we live in now.

The stories we tell can no longer be told by just words. Therefore, the way they are shared should accurately reflect both the transparency and creativity demanded of its audience.

I write things, but I no longer just write things. As a journalist, I actively work to become one with the times through visual and digital storytelling.

After expanding beyond the world of words as a news assistant tracking the coronavirus pandemic and the Russian invasion of Ukraine at The New York Times, I now serve as the senior reporter at PRWeek US, covering the world of PR and communications.
