Dedicated to crafting engaging and compelling narratives.
Storytelling is at the heart of everything I do – whether it is writing poetry that explores the intersection of nature with surrealism, creating web content for organizations, or performing with my cello, Jude. I am interested in approaching new ideas with creativity, enthusiasm, and empathy.
I am interested in supporting the accessibility of information in jargon-free content, writing about educational spaces, exploring the ever-expanding world of music, and, especially, writing about environmental issues such as sustainability and climate justice.
Experience
I have been a Storyteller with the Center for Socially Engaged Design at the University of Michigan for 4+ years. In this role, I have learned how to collaborate with others to tell their stories in a way that is kind, uplifting, and empowering.
I have also brought in $50,000+ of grant money for non-profits!
As a Freelance Feature Writer with Static Media for TheList, I researched, pitched, wrote, and revised long-form pieces (2,500 – 3,000 words) on a variety of topics weekly.
I also worked as a Copywriting Intern at Olivia: Menopause Support. Through in-depth research, utilization of SEO best practices, and a commitment to feedback, I wrote blog posts and in-app articles geared toward helping women understand and navigate menopause.
Education
In May 2022, I graduated from the University of Michigan with a B.A. in Creative Writing & Literature, a Sweetland Minor in Writing, and a Minor in Music.
I love more than just writing!
Yes, I am a writer, but also a musician! My cello “Jude” is one of my dearest friends, and my ukulele “F. Scotty” is one of my loudest friends. In the last few years, I also added two mandolins to my musical family and an autoharp. My piano is currently unnamed, but I love singing with her/him/them whenever I can.
In my poetry and fiction, I have a particular affinity for bringing nature, surrealist imagery, sound, and folklore into conversation with one another. I’m especially drawn to exploring the complexities of gender, tradition, voice, and environment – and highlighting the ever-present absurdity and sincerity of it all.
Here are some photos I’ve taken that make me really happy.
