Elevating brands through warm, engaging storytelling.
About Me
I'm a senior copywriter and editor with a 20 year history working in the beauty, food, and publishing industries. My focus is in clean beauty, baby care, wellness, and regenerative foodways; for the past decade, I've developed copy for a range of beauty, fashion, food, wellness and baby brands. I'm a self-motivated and independent worker, but I thrive on collaboration, feedback and working cross-functionally. There's nothing better than brainstorming with a team and coming up with something that's greater than the sum of its parts.
I got my start in women's magazines, and through the years I've contributed extensively to national publications including Lucky, Vogue, Glamour, Town & Country, Redbook, Allure, Prevention, and others; I have experience writing feature articles, celebrity and influencer profiles, and personal essays. I'm a longtime writing collaborator with food activist Alice Waters of Chez Panisse and the Edible Schoolyard Project, and was co-writer of her New York Times bestselling memoir, Coming To My Senses: The Making of a Counterculture Cook, and 2021 publication, We Are What We Eat: A Slow Food Manifesto.
I live in Oakland, California with my partner Ethan, my daughters Olive and Rosie, and one very old, very small, very nervous cat named Gus. When I'm not working, I'm usually in the garden collecting wildflower seeds.
