AI-enabled content manager and writer crafting high-performing copy across web, social, and marketing.
What I'm looking for
I’m a detail-oriented writer and content manager with experience crafting dynamic copy for national magazines, daily newspapers, and diverse clients. I bring a strong editorial eye, interviewing experience with high-profile figures, and a commitment to clear, memorable writing across blogs, web, and marketing channels.
In my most recent role as Content Manager and AI Prompt Engineer at The Get Smart Group, I oversaw all written content across blogs, websites, social media, emails, and ads. I managed freelance writers and interns to improve productivity and output, and I liaised with clients to align content strategy with business goals.
I also leverage generative AI tools to draft content and increase efficiency and innovation in content creation. Previously, I wrote and edited for national magazines while collaborating with daily newspapers, and I delivered blogs, web content, sales materials, advertisements, grant writing, and social media management.
My client experience includes Refugee Development Center and Patch.com, along with work for American Songwriter and Provincetown Magazine. I enjoy owning the full content lifecycle—fact checking, copy editing, SEO, web analytics, and publishing—so teams can ship consistently, stay on-brand, and perform.
