At BuzzFeed, I produced more than 50 video concepts and social campaigns that generated 15M+ combined views. I adapted long-form articles for social platforms and wrote scripts and storyboards for short-form video.

My work spans writing, publishing, and creative production. I founded SUNY New Paltz's first Creative Writing club and led weekly workshops, and I created op-ed cartoons for The Oracle Newspaper.
