Writer and Creative Strategist based in Washington D.C. Currently crafting content at Booz Allen Hamilton.
Born and raised in Greater Boston. Lived and learned in Dublin. I’m a Writer and Creative Strategist with a love for storytelling, whether it's in a short story or in a brand campaign.
My fiction dives into the complex, sometimes messy dynamics of family and identity, with work published in places like New Square, Icarus, and Last Leaves. Right now, I’m chipping away at my first novel.
On the professional side, I’m all about creating brand narratives, leading creative campaigns, and collaborating with teams to bring ideas to life. Whether it’s shaping a nonprofit’s marketing strategy or crafting stories that resonate, I focus on blending strategy with storytelling to make something that sticks.
I’m currently available for freelance writing work and consulting engagements.
