I've spent the last decade helping global brands like Expedia, Hotels.com, and Vrbo build meaningful relationships with their customers through relevant, engaging content. My expertise lies in copywriting, content strategy, and AI editing.
I also have a strong editorial background, serving as a long-time editor for both Time Out Chicago and the state of Illinois' official travel magazine. My freelance contributions include the New York Times, Condé Nast Traveler, Budget Travel, Forbes Travel Guides, and Time Out guidebooks, among others.
