Plan A was to be a diplomat, but I’m on Plan B: travel & culture writer with a geopolitical background.

I write editorial and commercial content and copy for international brands and publications focused on travel, culture, and lifestyle.

Originally trained as a political scientist and creative writer, I’ve spent the past 7+ years as a copywriter, journalist, digital marketer, and creative storyteller.

I hold a dual-degree Bachelor’s with Honors in Writing and International Affairs, plus a Master’s in Middle East and Islamic Studies. I spent the first several years of my career doing communications work for the United Nations, where I learned the ins and outs of all types of content and copywriting. My life overseas turned Rome, Italy, into my second home, and my international travels led me to sharing my insights and perspectives of cultural immersion through travel and lifestyle journalism.

You can find me on social media, but the best way to stay connected is via email. Shoot me a message or subscribe to my Substack.
