a bit of background

ER in Bainbridge Island, WA

You get it — I’m a writer and so much more. What I am not is a person who enjoys writing bios about myself, but we’ll get through it together.

I was a content specialist at healthcare IT company Phreesia from 2023-2025. I spent a year on the Demand Gen team, creating high-impact B2B marketing content, and a year as the solo marketer on Product Operations. I owned projects from start to finish: creating sales collateral, crafting product positioning for GTMs, independently managing + marketing the quarterly client webinar, overseeing all emails to our client base (!), etc.

While working full-time, I earned my M.S. in strategic comms from Agnes Scott College and interned in the Atlanta Public Defenders’ Office’s data science department (which was an exhausting collection of commitments, but worth it!). My thesis explored LGBTQIA+ users’ interactions with health/care technology through the lenses of queer HCI + data feminism.

Before that, I worked in content + comms at Dem fundraising platform ActBlue, Healthline Nutrition, and voting rights nonprofit Fair Fight Action.

You can spot my byline in Insider, The Washington Post, and more, including indie pubs like PULP Magazine (where I supported social content and hosted a podcast!).

I have a B.A. in journalism and women’s + gender studies from Mercer University. I was editor in chief of the student paper and a Couric Media Fellow at our local NPR affiliate. I also interned at startup pub MedTruth, which covered medical devices + consumer safety, and Atlanta magazine, the city’s premier general interest outlet.
