I’m an editorial writer, copywriter, and content strategist with experience turning complex ideas into clear, engaging long-form work. Most recently, I worked as Managing Editor and Lead Writer for bestselling author Neil Strauss, where I helped shape voice and structure, oversee drafts, build editorial systems, and produce research-driven content across books, brand projects, and client work. My background spans long-form articles, SEO-conscious content, interviews, brand storytelling, copyediting, and editorial workflows for founders, artists, media companies, and creative teams. I’m especially drawn to work that requires taking messy source material, finding the strongest angle, and turning it into writing that feels clear, useful, and human. Before moving deeper into editorial and content work, I built a career in film and television. I started at Robert Downey Jr.’s production company as a writer’s assistant in the Warner Bros. writers’ room for Sherlock Holmes 3, and my science fiction feature Axolotl was featured on The Black List. Since then, I’ve partnered with production companies on features, pilots, and documentaries, including a Grateful Dead documentary created in partnership with the band using photographer Jay Blakesberg’s archive. I’ve also been hired to write a science fiction courtroom pilot and an adult animated comedy, and I currently have a psychological thriller under option with a production company.
