I am a writer, storyteller, and founder with over 20 years of experience crafting stories that shape how media companies, publishing houses, and international brands connect with audiences. Since 2022, I’ve lived and worked across multiple countries, immersing myself in the layered histories and cultures of people and places around the world. Those experiences inform my work at Gold-Dusted Living, my independent online publication.

Gold-Dusted Living brings context to what is happening in the world and explores how we can move through it with curiosity, care, and joy. It covers politics, history, justice, travel, culture, food, books, wellness, and beauty. Through deeply researched articles, personal stories rooted in travel, and thoughtful recommendations, Gold-Dusted Living looks beyond the surface to uncover the histories and systems shaping the present. It centers the voices and experiences of the global majority, especially those too often ignored, distorted, or erased.

Behind this work is a career spanning print and online editorial, copywriting, branding, marketing, public relations, book publishing, and social media. I’ve crafted copy across all consumer touchpoints for brands including Thirteen Lune, The Bouqs, Fresh Beauty, Supergoop, Smashbox, Conair, Mattel, 11 Honoré, Bebe, Tommy Bahama, and Aloha. My editorial writing has appeared in outlets such as The Hollywood Reporter, Fast Company, Parade, Los Angeles Confidential, Gotham, Vegas, Capitol File, Angeleno, Weddings California, and Guest of a Guest.

My experience also includes copy editing, proofreading, and cold reading for Penguin Random House on books like The Fastest Way to Fall, Sadie on a Plate, The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches, The Paris Bookseller, At Least You Have Your Health, Black Love Matters, and Death by Bubble Tea.

I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Journalism and Mass Communications with a minor in Politics from New York University, a Postgraduate Associate of Arts Degree in Merchandise Marketing from the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising, and a Health Coaching Certificate from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition.
