Bio

Trained journalist, writer, and fashion designer.

Though I started my professional career in New York City’s garment district as a private-label womenswear designer, my creativity has always shone best on the written page.

As a journalist, I’m a tireless researcher, and an effective producer - I find no logistical obstacle insurmountable.

As a creative writer, I derive great joy in both distilling emotions into words, and then ordering those thoughts so they sing for the reader.

My foundation as a writer and fashion creative has made me a translator and editor that is energetically curious, perpetually creative, and full of love for the written word. My clients find the experience of working with me to be invigorating and full of added-value based on my broad knowledge base.

In my time as an English teacher to adult professionals, I’ve acquired knowledge across a wide variety of sectors covering everything from master planning to travel & tourism, from banking to sociology.

Of late, I’ve also particularly increased my knowledge of advertising and marketing due to my work with magazines and brands, in the capacity of journalist, translator, producer, content writer, and actress. Working to produce content for print/online publication and television broadcast has given me a 360-degree view of the production of marketing communications.
