Nice to meet you! I’m a writer and journalist based in Minneapolis who works with both tech companies and media outlets.

Here’s a little bit about me & my story:

I’ve always loved to read, but it wasn’t until I started working for a U.K. digital media company interviewing founders and executives that I realized I also loved to write. Since then, I’ve worked at a Series A tech startup, written about finance, cybersecurity, AI, and the future of work for the University of Oxford, and traveled the world. Yes, I’ve hiked Mt. Fuji!

I studied writing for a short time at Middlebury and eventually shifted to a mix of cybersecurity and liberal arts at Georgetown University. It turns out this fit me perfectly: I’ve always been fascinated by the ways in which technology both mirrors and reinvents history, and how humans shape the way new tech unfolds.

If you’re already working with me, you know I like to write about human-AI collaboration, cyber, and the future workforce. I’ve also been known to write about quantum technology and semiconductor supply chains, so if your project involves humans & tech, there’s a good chance I’ll be highly curious about it.

Right now, I’m working with a mix of commercial and creative clients, which means I pitch and write reported articles for Big Think and AGI Ethics News, design future of work courses for Oxford, consult on and create ghostwritten content, and (when I have the time!) write pieces for my Substack.

I’m also a new teaching artist at The Loft Literary Center in Minneapolis this year, which means that I’ll be leading a few writing workshops. If you’d like more info, you can email me or sign up through The Loft! It’s lovely to meet you, and I hope you reach out.
