I’m a freelance journalist and copywriter with more than a decade of experience writing about regional travel, culture and lifestyle. Some of my past clients include Chevrolet, Modern Luxury and Westways.

In 2014 I helped launch Southern California Life, serving as the magazine’s Landmarks and Historical Features Editor until 2017. I relocated from Los Angeles to Phoenix a few years back, where I cover stories that highlight the best of the Sonoran Desert—and beyond! If you love the iconic beauty of cinema’s golden era, check out my book, Max Factor and Hollywood: A Glamorous History. To experience the latest in style, culture, excursions and more, follow Sonoran Suite. For copywriting inquiries feel free to get in touch via email.
