About Me
I've spent my career as a storyteller who helps people understand complicated things, first as an English teacher, then as a magazine editor, and most recently as a content design manager at Meta.
At Meta, I was the content designer behind the naming and launch of Facebook's Professional Mode (100M+ daily active users), turning dense legal and financial language into something people could actually follow. I then led teams of up to 10 content designers across Facebook's Creator Monetization, Feed, Notifications, and Reels. I also wrote system prompts and response guidelines for the AI products we built for our users.
Before Meta, I spent a decade as an editor at Departures, Centurion, Food & Wine, and Travel + Leisure, and freelanced for Michelin, Bloomberg, and Luxe. Writing for this many publications taught me to quickly land the voice and tone that fits a brand.
It's all the same job, really. I meet people where they are, figure out what they need to know, and say it clearly. And I do it with a caring, global mindset, which I learned from teaching English in Italy, South Korea, and Costa Rica.
Oh, and I briefly worked for a major Hollywood actor (ask me about that in person), but my calling as a writer was simply too overpowering.
Writing
This is embarrassingly out of date. Please reach out for my updated works for 2020 and beyond (which is largely UX Writing at Meta).

Editing
Here are a few examples to start. More to come...

I had the privilege of tapping the world's top interior designers to learn how to bring color into spaces. This was part of an entire section I helped produce all about color in the Departures Spring 2019 Home + Design issue. I also assigned, edited, and oversaw the photo shoot for a story in the section about Gaetano Pesce (digital version here)
