I'm an intellectually curious creative with ADHD who spends an inordinate amount of time on the internet chasing dopamine. In the years since I first picked up a pencil and learned to form words on paper, I've graduated from staying up way past my bedtime scribbling stories in a notebook to a six-figure writing career. I still get LinkedIn messages thanking me for the hundred or so articles I crafted when I worked as a contractor for Grammarly. As a managing editor for Macmillan Publishers, I kept a stable of podcasters on point, including Grammar Girl celeb Mignon Fogerty.

My approach to Medium is to write about whatever pleases me at any given time. Follow me, and you'll encounter everything from sweary, humorous rants to essays on love and loss to writing advice. Stay tuned! You never know what'll happen next.
