Writing

People, and all their complexities, are the root of every important story.

Over the course of a decade-long journalism career, I’ve covered retail, politics, theater, and global hospitality for publications including The Guardian, the Chicago Reader, Huffington Post, American Theatre Magazine, and Backstage, among others. That experience has given me a unique insight that I now apply to digital strategy and social media marketing.
