About Me

Highly experienced and detail-oriented writer and editor with over 14 years of experience in the journalism and corporate comms field. Skilled in editorial and creative projects, including writing, copyediting, publishing and social media engagement. Strong storyteller who can curate engaging short or long-form on-brand content for multiple marketing channels. Self-starter adept at directing editorial teams, pitching compelling ideas and developing strategic content for diverse audiences. I've spent my career strategically planning, creating, and writing copy for large and small companies across print and digital platforms. I've managed and grown social media channels and developed engaging brand and social media campaigns.

In my spare time, I run a food/lifestyle blog, Hangry Girl RVA, covering VA's food and beverage scene. I partner with small and large companies to spotlight their brands, host giveaways, and inform followers on the latest food/bev news, experiences, events, and more. I've created successful campaigns for national brands like Chopt Salad Co., Sugarwish, Vinebox, I Dream of Cookies, Mochinut & more. Through my Instagram and Facebook channels for this blog, I cultivate followers & drive engagement with seven posts of compelling content a week, catchy reels, engaging video content, and stories. I've grown this blog organically to nearly 5,000 followers, reaching 57,000 accounts in October 2022, and increased followers by 25% in the same month.

I live in Richmond, VA with my husband Chris and our silly five-year-old pitbull, Frank, whom we rescued from Henrico Animal Shelter. I also volunteer for several dog rescue organizations including Salem's Light, Ring Dog Rescue and Henrico County Animal Shelter.
