I’m a creative-yet-data-savvy Content Strategist and Producer with a proven track record of building playful, high-performing content ecosystems across travel, lifestyle, and hospitality. Equal parts editorial brain and brand storyteller, I specialize in developing scroll-stopping campaigns that blend cultural relevance, SEO insights, and audience psychology.
From concept to production, I bring a sharp eye for visuals, a journalistic approach to voice and narrative, and a deep understanding of what drives engagement across TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and media. I’ve become fluent in the full content pipeline — ideation, scripting, shooting, editing, writing, and analytics, buy working with major brands like adidas and Shutterfly, as well as pre-launch brands. I know how to make ideas land and resonate.
Let’s make content that people want to share.
