Out of respect for the privacy of my colleagues, I do not publicly link my Employee Engagement and Internal Communications writing portfolio. Please send me an email to read it!

At EDF, I communicate stories about climate, science, politics, and organizational change to 1000+ global employees. I also serve as editorial director for EDF's daily internal publication, "Insider," and I write and curate our weekly all-staff newsletter. I also do a lot of tech-y project management and operations work.

I recently helped found EDF's first Disability-focused ERG.

In the last few years, I have been a Digital Editorial Director at multiple online outlets and a writer for Reader's Digest and other publications. I was an entertainment writer and copyeditor at the New Paltz Oracle and a staff editor and social media strategist for The Teller Magazine. I love stories that require a lot of research and lead me down research rabbit-holes. I enjoy writing profiles, reviewing lit and entertainment, and reporting on all things interesting. In my free time, I write fiction.
