Literature enthusiast
I'm a reader and writer based in Southern California. I write a monthly column on Substack and publish Printed Works, an independent literary project.Need proofreading and copy editing services, communications support, or creative project management? I help artists stay organized!
Can I Tell You a Secret? is my monthly personal column where I attempt to make sense of the world. It's a place for essays, observations, travel journals, books, and anything that makes me feel something.
Printed Works is an independent publishing project with a focus on literary travel. It explores how books shape the way we travel, and how travel shapes the way we read. Here you’ll find essays and book recommendations, along with the occasional printed mail delivered to your home.

My background includes executive assistance, public relations, and editorial and communications support.In simple terms, I'm a natural organizer with a passion for art and the written word.

This work has included co-hosting a podcast, creating YouTube videos, and proofreading for a wedding calligrapher's blog, client communications, and hand-lettered envelopes.For collaborations, projects, or inquiries about working together, I'd love to hear from you.
