About me.

I'm a content strategist based in Atlanta.

Content strategy is about building purposeful narratives that transform organizations and connect with audiences in meaningful ways.

For more than a decade, I've turned complex ideas into clear, compelling stories that drive real business outcomes.

From scaling tech startups to leveling up enterprise campaigns, I specialize in turning business objectives into strategic content that delivers measurable impact.

My campaigns have driven millions of impressions and helped triple company revenue in just six months.

By blending data-driven insights with compelling storytelling, I transform complex technical solutions into clear, engaging narratives across blogs, social media, podcasts and multimedia campaigns.

As a former journalist turned content marketing leader, I bring both creative storytelling and analytical precision to every project — because effective content isn't just about what you say, it's about creating meaningful connections that drive the results that matter to your business.

Experience.
