About

I’m a writer and storyteller with a background as eclectic as my bookshelves. Formally trained in art history, I’ve spent my career moving fluidly between the creative and the corporate — crafting pitch decks and editing white papers at Analog Devices, developing content for nonprofits and finance organizations, and writing everything from press releases to reviews to longform nonfiction along the way. I bring the same eye for narrative to a balance sheet as I do to a byline, and I genuinely believe that the best writing — whether it’s a white paper or a short story — starts with understanding what makes people tick. Equal parts analyst and storyteller, I’m at my best when the work demands both.

I write art history and culture content for Perfect Picture Lights, a Vermont-based retailer specializing in artwork illumination. My work for their blog explores the intersection of art, light, and storytelling — from deep dives into the chiaroscuro mastery of Caravaggio to broader explorations of how artists across centuries have used light to shape narrative and meaning. Drawing on my formal background in art history, I bring academic depth and accessible, engaging prose to content that connects art lovers with the works and ideas that move them. https://www.twine.net/signin
