Welcome to my portfolio. Here you will find some of my favorite pieces I've done for the companies I've worked at.

I wrote this blog post for Dylan's Candy Bar to highlight not only our staff at our Los Angeles and Hudson Yards locations but to also provide their insight on the perfect holiday sweet treat for friends and family.
​
In addition to writing the piece, I interviewed staff from both locations and took photos of our LA employees.
My embarkment with content creation consisted of making a custom Tackle Box, taking photos and shooting video for social media
During my time with WDWNT, I wrote about park news and updates, merchandise releases and upcoming events for both Walt Disney World and Universal Studios/Islands of Adventure
I wrote all the copy, including the headline, for this piece. As a lover of Disney music and play-on-words, I especially enjoyed creating this headline.
Like the first clip, this headline was a favorite to write, and the item was fun to describe. Click the headline to read more.
In this particular post, I enjoyed writing the copy and playing with The Simpsons' setting.
The Hollywood Reporter
During my four-month internship at THR, I got to work with some of the best in the business. But the two clips I'm most proud of are my endpage of Jane Fonda and Norman Jewison, and my red-carpet coverage of Love Is Strange.
PBG Lifestyle Magazine
While at PBG Lifestyle, I wrote blog posts and advertorials. Blogs ranged from event coverage to profiles, and the most exciting one I did was of Livingston Taylor.
​
Must-Have advertorials, or 50-word pieces of copy for the monthly print issue, were about different products each month. From January to November, I wrote 10 advertorials per issue, and for December I wrote 25.
Our Town Magazine
I freelanced at Our Town Magazine during my last semester in college, and I covered local events and wrote profiles for the monthly magazine. My favorite piece was on a woman named Angela Terrell, an educator and musician in Alachua County, Fla.
​
In addition to writing articles, I also occasionally took photos to go alongside.
