About
I’m an editor, writer, and strategist with more than seven years of content creation experience at tech companies where search is the primary distribution channel. That means I’m just as comfortable spotting typos, helping reporters develop ideas, and fixing story structure as I am conducting keyword research, creating SEO briefs, and monitoring and reporting content performance. I’ve also been a people manager for two years, leading a team of writers whose work dominates the top of search engine results pages and is shared on social media by industry leaders.During this time I’ve written and edited hundreds of articles — currently as a senior associate editor (previously a staff reporter) at Built In, an online destination for technology and startup professionals, and before that as a content specialist at Veritas Health, a publisher of consumer health information websites.I’ve also been published in The Weekly Standard, OneZero, First Things, and Bright Wall/Dark Room, among other publications.
