I’ve been a working writer for my entire career.
I’ve published stories, essays, articles, plays, poems, and comics. I co-host a monthly novel writing workshop through the Brooklyn Speculative Fiction Writers, am a member of the Women in Comics Collective, and an associate member of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers.
As a Creative Director, copywriter, I’m known for developing award-winning big ideas for top brands including Vonage, L'Oreal, AARP, CHASE, Dannon, Nokia, Dell, Huggies, Nationwide, Novartis, and Microsoft. I have a knack (and a love) for telling brand stories, honing a brand voice and creating compelling campaigns by rooting out a consumer truth and then connecting the dots across all relevant channels from broadcast to social to digital to print.
As an educator, I’ve taught creative writing, playwriting, copywriting and comic creation at renowned universities, programs and theaters including NYU, FIT, Pratt, Highlights Foundation, Yale Rep, Manhattan Class Company, and the 52nd Street Project.
Over the years, I’ve also been known to work as a: blogger, journalist, webmaster, designer, translator (Spanish), ghostwriter, museum exhibit copywriter, book doctor, university writing professor, corporate PR director, jazz club hostess, playwright, poet, short-story writer, copy editor (for romance and Scifi novels, of course), travel magazine fact checker, children’s magazine editor, theater director, public school teaching artist, and mommy. Surprisingly, it all comes in handy.
