Writer. Creator. Storyteller.
What I do
I write across genres, forms, and tones—always with precision and a focus on narrative clarity.
​
What I offer:
​Personal Essays & Opinion Writing
Creative nonfiction is one of my best-honed crafts, as most of my work revolves around personal narrative. I bring voice, vulnerability, and structure to lived experience to help tell compelling, provocative stories that reflect the human experience. My essays typically explore identity, belonging, disability, culture, and depict the complexity of modern life with nuance and intention.​
​
Content & Marketing Writing
Need clean copy that still feels human? Even if you're using AI, I find that it still requires that human touch to make it feel authentic, and that's where I come in. Want relatable content that also sells product and conveys your brand's voice? I have extensive experience translating complex topics into accessible, engaging content, whether it be in the form of blog posts, web pages, social media posts, newsletters, and more.​
Editing & Story Shaping
If you just need a quick read-through or collaborative edit, I provide a critical, editorial eye for what makes great writing. I studied writing for seven years throughout college and graduate school, and I use my expertise to help organizations get their mission across in the most impactful way possible. From developmental insight to sentence-level polish, I help refine writing so it’s stronger, clearer, and more aligned with your goals.​
​
Research & Writing Support
I love diving deep. I am a skilled researcher with years of professional experience, and I love the thrill of digging for new information. Want me to go to the depths of the internet to one specific byline? You've got it. Whether you need interviews conducted, sources synthesized, or complex ideas translated into readable content, I bring structure and clarity to the research process with my long-hones research skills.​
​
Writing Assistance & Creative Collaboration
If you have an idea but aren’t sure how to begin—or if you need a partner to help you bring something across the finish line—I’m here to help shape, organize, and execute. I love creative collaboration and can't wait to come up with exciting new ideas to create, coming together with purpose.
My approach is simple:
Ask questions. Listen carefully. Communicate clearly. Write thoughtfully. Create fearlessly.

Get to Know Me
It's always a good idea to get to know the person you're working with—I find that it adds more authenticity to a professional partnership when you know a little bit about their background.

So here are some fun facts about me:
-
I am not originally from Napa
I am a Bay Area Native, born and raised in the East Bay. I am from El Cerrito—that's where I grew up and went to school. However, my family moved to Richmond when I was thirteen years old, which people tend to be more familiar with than the tiny town of El Cerrito, so I usually say that I am from Richmond.
-
I've called Napa my home for five years
It's the classic story—I moved for love. Amidst the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic, I moved out of my parents house and in with my now husband in Napa. It was meant to be temporary at the time, but life happened, and I just loved the community so much that I never left! Now, after putting down roots here, I feel called to stay and support the community that so readily embraced me. Never in my life did I expect to live in a beautiful, world-renowned tourist destination, but I am truly blessed to have spent my twenties here.
-
I wrote my first story at five years old
I’m not even exaggerating when I say that I’ve literally always wanted to be a writer, ever since I learned that books were written by ordinary people. When I was seven, I desperately wanted to be Ann M. Martin, author of the The Babysitter’s Club book series. I wrote my first short story in kindergarten, The Lost Bunny. I then went on to write dozens more short series’ in my composition notebooks throughout elementary school and middle school. While other kids were playing at recess, I was sitting on the playground bench writing away in my notebook. I was published for the first time at age sixteen, and also received my first magazine cover in the Phoenix Magazine. I truly believe that I was born to write.
-
I live with invisible disability
I feel comfortable sharing this information because it is a huge part of who I am, and has always had a deep influence on my writing. Not in the way that I am defined by it, but in the way that I have built my life around giving back to my disability and chronic illness communities, supporting others wherever I can. I have been a proud advocate for many years, and continue to fight for awareness, acceptance, and inclusion of people with disabilities or chronic illness. I'm not ashamed of my disability—you can take one look at any of my social media and know that I am disabled, its just a part of my reality. You can see this passion reflected in much of my early published writing and digital content, and disability organizations are always my favorite to work with.

I am very passionate about books
If you'd like to know more (or if you're just nosy like me), subscribe to my personal Substack where I regularly post essays and blogs about my life.
Is this really surprising considering my multiple literature degrees? I consume books at a rate some people wouldn't believe. On average, I read about 10-12 novels or non-fiction books every month, usually over 100 books in a year. It sounds extreme, but I have always consumed books this way ever since I could read! I grew up walking a block to the library every day for a new book, having Judy Blume and Junie B. Jones read to me at night—it's the only way I know how. Just don't ask me to choose between reading and writing—I can't pick!
