About Me

I specialize in content creation (strategy, editing, and writing), distribution, and SEO (strategy and implementation). I also dabble in design and I'm not afraid to get down with a little bit of code.

Since 2020, I have been on staff with AFAR Media, an independently-owned digital and print travel magazine. I am currently the Associate Director of SEO & Video.

Before that, I was a content strategist at Facebook in 2019 for their media and publisher education team. From 2016-2019, I led the SEO and top of funnel content strategy for Asana as their search content strategist. From 2014 - 2016, I worked as the content marketing director at Go Overseas, a travel site, where I developed and launched an SEO-driven content strategy for the entire web experience.

Additionally, I’m a freelance writer who has regularly contributed to Tortuga Backpacks since 2014 — including their most read article of all time, What to Pack in Thailand. My writing and photography has also been published in Carryology (apparel and travel), FluentU (education), AFK Travel (travel), and 7x7 (local news, travel section).
