CONTENT FOR BUILDERS
Strategic Content For Tech Leaders and American Builders
I’m a senior business and technology writer with over 10 years of experience writing for Fortune 500 companies and national magazines. I create thought leadership content that influences and educates executive audiences on topics including geospatial intelligence, AI, risk and resilience, sustainability, and security.
Drawing on my experience as an editor at Condé Nast magazines and The Wall Street Journal Magazine, I put story first in content marketing and aim to enrich topics with intelligent, worldly context.
As a thought leadership writer for Esri, I’ve done some of the first authoritative reporting on cutting-edge topics like spatial finance and created marketing materials that have been used to teach spatial awareness in university courses. My work with creative studio Quartz Creative and clients including EY and Salesforce have reached millions of readers including C-suite executives.
I’m experienced in creating longform features, e-books, whitepapers, video scripts, case studies, and email newsletters and welcome opportunities to partner with companies driving the next wave of innovation.

About Me
I studied Russian literature in college and became a magazine journalist because I love ideas and language. I worked at publications including GQ, Details, Time Out New York, and The Wall Street Journal Magazine, and have published in CNN, Bloomberg, Travel + Leisure and other magazines.
A passion for understanding the systems and tools that shape the physical world led me to begin writing for tech companies and businesses. I’m a lead writer for Esri’s thought leadership publication and work with creative agencies to create content for brands like EY and Salesforce.
In addition to contributing thought leadership content for technology brands, I continue to publish on topics of personal interest like wine, hunting, and conservation. I’m based outside Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
