ABOUT
I am a writer and editor with skills expanding into design and video/audio production. I recently moved back to Seattle after five years in Atlanta and a stint as a nomadic freelancer, working all over the country in cities such as New York, L.A., Austin, and Birmingham.
I believe that everyone needs an editor—whether that’s helping develop and tweak your project from start to finish, or simply being a second set of eyes to dot the i’s and cross the t’s. Regardless of what you are working on, I want to help make your project the best it can be without sacrificing your voice and vision. My true passion lies in the collaborative process.

Beyond the realm of writing and editing, I also have experience using a variety of graphic, audio, and video editing programs, such as:
Final Cut Pro
Adobe Premiere
Photoshop
AfterEffects
InDesign
Logic Pro X
Calibre
My skills lie in a variety of fields and niches, including:
Copywriting
Copy editing
Landing pages
Music reviews & industry event coverage
Interviews
Podcast & interview transcription
Manuscript & screenplay editing
Proofreading
Marketing, retail, & ad copy
Technical writing
SEO content
and more!
In my spare time, you can find me roadtripping to every corner of the country, doing deep dives into regional rap, and wandering around Atlanta listening to podcasts or the latest silly/hyper-specific playlist I’ve cobbled together.

COPYWRITING
“Future once proclaimed that they tried to “make [him] a pop star and they made a monster,” but as it turned out, they made both. Though perhaps an unlikely candidate for a pop star on paper, Future has a knack for melody that’s landed him on joint albums with Drake and in Beyoncé liner notes. Beyond pop success, Future’s work ethic and willingness to experiment has allowed him to create some of the genre’s best and most influential music of the past few years, laying the blueprints for artists to follow in his footsteps.”
You hate him. You love him. You love to hate him and you hate to love him. For better or for worse, there's no question that Kanve West has helped define hip-hop for nearly the past two decades From the heartfelt chipmunk soul of The College Dropout to the abrasive, experimental Yeezus, it's likelv there's something in West's expansive discoaraphy for evervone.
As a student of Lil Wayne and a true ATLien in the spirit of the original Dungeon Family, Thug is one of the most creative and versatile artists of our generation. Though Thug has never seen the same commercial success as some of his Atlantan peers***, forcing him into a box would be missing the point — the elasticity of his voice, his willingness to experiment, and his overall strangeness is what makes him the artist he is.”
***This was true at the time of writing, but has since become inaccurate.
