Creative Marketer & Editor | MA Journalism & Media | Bridging digital strategy & storytelling at the intersection of media + identity

I’m a creative marketer with a strong editorial foundation and a sharp eye for brand storytelling. I’ve led marketing campaigns, built content strategies, and brought creative direction to projects across industries—from the Whitney Museum to independent media and publishing. With an MA in Creative Publishing & Critical Journalism from The New School, I bring a research-driven, insight-led approach to marketing. I combine that with strong instincts, quick decision-making, and a knack for pattern recognition—skills that help me solve creative problems and move ideas forward fast. I’m currently open to marketing, brand strategy, and content roles across fashion, art, media, and innovative tech.
