Social strategist. Fiction writer. Builder of communities. Geography Bee champ.
I’m a social media and digital content strategist, fiction writer, and essayist in Seattle, and a 2018 NEA Literature Fellow. My creative work has appeared in Narrative, The Millions, Salon, The Weeklings, and elsewhere.
In my professional life, I believe community is strategy. I build content programs that connect business needs with real people’s needs: good storytelling, authentic content, and human voices at scale. I collaborate with ambassadors and creators, guide teams of makers, and lead campaigns that build trust.
My writing background gives me editorial sharpness and storytelling chops; teaching and traveling through rural and urban communities honed my ability to listen, connect, and lead. Years in tech have given me a strong point of view on content marketing, though I promise not to unleash that on you unless you ask.
Current projects: working and parenting full-time, drafting a novel, and tinkering with short pieces about midlife queerness, foraging in the Pacific Northwest, class in ’Merica, tech job culture, and hot takes on AI-generated content (for such time that I unveil my Fun Marketing Personality on LinkedIn).
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.
