About
As a writer, model, and multi-hyphenate creative, I craft culture through experiences, media, and people. My work lives in the spaces between – where reality meets imagination, where stories transform into moments, and where brands become part of cultural conversations.
My foundation in storytelling was shaped at Princeton University, where I earned my Bachelor's in English with certificates in Gender Studies, African American Studies, and Creative Writing, specializing in screenwriting. This interdisciplinary background informs my approach to narrative and community building, allowing me to see the connections that others might miss.
Through years of eclectic experiences – from literary salons to restaurant pop-ups, art installations to brand activations – I've built a dynamic national network of creatives, hospitality professionals, and cultural innovators. This diverse community allows me to mobilize exactly the right talent for any project, whether that's connecting a chef with an artist for a pop-up experience or bringing together writers and musicians for a multimedia storytelling event.
Through Hot Literati, I reimagine literary culture for a new generation, creating experiences that make words come alive. Ceri Agency shapes narratives that resonate beyond the expected, turning brand stories into cultural moments. At Vesper Magazine, we document the edges where culture shifts and evolves, always seeking the next meaningful conversation.
My commitment to building hyper-local community has been recognized with the Wichita Difference Maker Award, celebrating impact at the grassroots level. The A. Scott Berg Award and Martin A. Dale Award further acknowledge my ability to create meaningful connections through storytelling and creative innovation.
My approach to creativity has been called "flirting with reality" – a dance between the tangible and the possible. Whether I'm writing an intimate profile of a neighborhood restaurant, producing a multi-platform content series, or curating an immersive brand experience, I focus on finding the unexpected connections that make stories memorable.
I believe the most impactful work happens when we take time to let relationships develop and stories unfold naturally. This philosophy guides my collaborations with brands like Cosmopolitan, Seventeen, and Verizon, where long-term partnerships have created opportunities for deeper storytelling and authentic community connections.
Based in New York City, I draw inspiration from the constant intersection of cultures, ideas, and possibilities that define this city. My network extends far beyond the five boroughs, allowing me to bring diverse perspectives and talents together to create something truly unique. Each project is an opportunity to weave new threads into the cultural fabric, creating moments that resonate and stories that endure.
Let's craft something extraordinary together.
