WRITING

 

As far back as I can remember, I’ve been a storyteller. From my days retelling my favorite Disney movies to helping the legendary Sir Harold Evans with his editorials, my love of a good story has informed every aspect of my life and my career. Whether writing a long form piece on the fall of the Romanov dynasty or a review for a restaurant in Cape Cod, my goal is to tell as thorough and entertaining a story as possible.
