About me

I’m a writer, outdoor adventurer, and fruit enthusiast with a passion for storytelling and editing. After writing freelance while pursuing my masters in journalism, I’m now focusing on editing. I love the puzzle of editing, helping a story shine and connecting readers to work that makes them feel seen.
When I’m not reading, writing, thinking about writing, or feeling guilty for not writing, I try to spend as little time on dry land as humanly possible. Strap me to a surfboard, a scuba tank, a paraglide, or anything else that’ll give my parents premature grey hair and I’ll be happy. Originally from a small town in Northern California, I have called eight countries and five continents home and am currently based in London.

    My favourite poet is Mary Oliver. She makes me feel connected to nature even when I’m stuck deep in my university library and haven’t seen sunlight all day.
