I’m a newsroom-trained writer and editor working at the intersection of journalism, marketing and multimedia storytelling. Check out my recent editorial work and content marketing projects on the page below.

Content Marketing & Strategy | American AgCredit

I led content marketing and creative production for cooperative farm lender American AgCredit for four years before moving into a contract role in 2023.

I planned, produced and delivered the 2021 Annual Report to Shareholders, a 98-page printed book that was delivered to about 10,000 customers, as well as a digital version with animated graphics and videos.

I shot video and photos, interviewed the owner and wrote a story for the Annual Report on Go Green Agriculture’s model for growing organic produce with far less water, land and labor than in traditional, open-field operations.

I shot video and still photos and produced a story about an 11-acre lavender farm near Taylor Mountain in Santa Rosa that is breathing new life into the land while sustaining thousands of native bees and honeybees.

I helped develop and produce the company’s first Community Impact Report focused on corporate giving, nonprofit partnerships and support for local agriculture and rural communities, which totaled over $1.3M in 2022.

I wrote about a Central Valley almond operation that is investing in new technology for sorting and processing nuts, as well as renewable energy sources, to stay relevant in an increasingly competitive industry.

Digital Media & Journalism | The Press Democrat

I was digital editor and freelance writer at the Press Democrat, winner of the 2018 Pulitzer Prize for Breaking News Reporting. I produced daily news coverage and features for PressDemocrat.com, managed social media posts and engagement, and wrote freelance stories focused on the fire rebuilding effort and community news in Mendocino County.
