I’m a Minneapolis-based writer and editor with a passion for music, a penchant for thrift-store shopping and a neverending recipe repertoire.

My first book, a biography of musician Link Wray, will be out soon (fingers crossed for a 2023 pub date). If you’re interested, sign up for book updates and/or my music newsletter, Switchblade.

For a long time I was a content director at MSP-C, where I worked as an editor on the General Mills and Delta Air Lines accounts, including Sky magazine. I’m an experienced journalist who has done a lot of writing, editing and copywriting for various companies and publications. I’m currently a Creative at Zeus Jones in Minneapolis.

In past lives, I’ve been a radio DJ, podcast host, music director, half of the concert production duo Girl Germs and co-creator of Girls Got Rhythm Fest. And of course we can’t forget my long, illustrious career in food service. (Seriously, though — no one should ever forget their time in food service; it’s where we learn the most important life lessons.)
