What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values creativity and collaboration, where I can leverage my extensive experience in journalism and content strategy to produce impactful stories.

I am a versatile and award-winning journalist, editor, and content strategist with over two decades of experience across print, digital, and multimedia platforms. My career has been defined by my ability to write, edit, and manage high-impact stories in various sectors, including entertainment, lifestyle, and trade publications. I pride myself on my skills in developmental editing, copyediting, and project management, ensuring that all content aligns with editorial standards and brand voice.

Throughout my career, I have received numerous accolades, including first-place awards from the LA Press Club for my lifestyle features. My experience spans freelance roles where I have produced and edited content for notable publications such as TheWrap and NBC THINK. I thrive in fast-paced environments, adept at managing teams and meeting tight deadlines while delivering polished content that resonates with audiences.
