About

As a marketer and editor with over 8 years of experience, I help brands and creators craft engaging and impactful stories that drive business and engagement. I have worked with major international clients across various industries, such as tech, IT, finance, and aerospace, to deliver award-winning content marketing campaigns and editorial strategies. I have planned and executed marketing campaigns for products and brands including Dungeons & Dragons, Pathfinder, Northrup Grumman, Capital One, and more. I am also a passionate tabletop game editor and designer with credits on popular franchises like Lord of the Rings, Warhammer 40,000, and Doctor Who. I enjoy collaborating with other game designers and writers to produce immersive gaming experiences that bring people together. I enjoy working with diverse teams of creatives where I can learn from those around me, and share something too.
