About Me

From my hometown of Rochester, New York, I provide writing, editing, copy editing, and copywriting services for freelance clients across the country. (After living elsewhere for several years, I voluntarily returned to a city that averages 200 cloudy days a year. It builds character.)

As a journalist, I’ve written for Parents, SELF, Next Avenue, Well+Good, LGBTQ Nation, Autostraddle, VICE, Scary Mommy, Forbes, Pride Source, Subaru Drive, Columbia College Today (Columbia University), Rochester Review (University of Rochester), and many other online and print publications. Much of my work has focused on parenting/family and lifestyle topics, as well as LGBTQ+ issues—but I’ve covered a wide variety of subjects, from fashion to personal finance to health.

My humor writing has been published by The Belladonna, Points in Case, Slackjaw, Weekly Humorist, Little Old Lady Comedy, and Greener Pastures.

I’m a professional member of the Cat Writers’ Association (yes, that’s a thing) and have won three writing awards in its annual communications contest. I also belong to the Society of Professional Journalists and NLGJA: The Association of LGBTQ+ Journalists.

I have a B.A. in English and creative writing from Bryn Mawr College and an M.A. in journalism from the Newhouse School at Syracuse University.

(But wait, there’s more!)
