Hi. I’m Irene.

Content strategist. Writer. Builder of communities. Geography Bee champ.

I’m a content strategist, tech marketing veteran, and writer in Seattle, and a 2018 NEA Literature Fellow. My creative work has appeared in Narrative, The Millions, Salon, The Weeklings, and many other outlets.

In my professional life, I build content programs that connect business outcomes with real people. I collaborate with ambassadors and creators, lead campaigns, crunch numbers, guide teams, and keep my sense of humor through it all.

Current projects: working and parenting full-time, creating content about life in tech as an elder millennial, and writing about staying curious, creative, and compassionate in late capitalism.

Dreams: socialized medicine, nine hours of sleep per night, more classes at the Feminist Karate Union, a support group for MFAs in tech, and more time to write, even though time is but an illusion.

Welcome! See my professional work at the Portfolio tab, and my creative writing under Publications.
