Integrated marketing solutions for small businesses.
Reporting on Community, Culture & the Issues That Shape Us
In addition to my work as a marketing strategist and storyteller, I write for regional publications and cover local events, community issues, politics, small business stories, and cultural commentary. My background in writing and creative direction helps me translate complex topics into narratives that inform, connect, and spark conversation.
I am a member of the Society for Professional Journalists and contribute stories to publications across Northern Virginia—including Middleburg Life, Loudoun Now, the Fairfax County Times, Stroll Willowsford, and other regional outlets.
If you’d like press coverage for an event, want to request commentary, or are looking for a journalist to cover a story, you’ll find everything you need below.
