I am a writer and researcher based in San Francisco.

I am an experienced writer, editor, and researcher specializing in communicating complex, high-stakes ideas to nontechnical audiences. I have covered topics and led editorial strategy at the intersection of economics, climate, and security across Africa, the Middle East, and the United States.

Over the course of my career, I have served as editor-in-chief of a think tank division, built editorial systems from scratch, and managed global networks of freelancers. I also spent five years editing a Nobel laureate, transforming dense technical research into best-selling books and high-impact news commentaries without losing nuance. I excel at helping organizations and individuals shape clear narratives around their most critical work and bringing out the authentic voices of writers seeking to reach a broader audience for their in-depth research and subject-matter expertise.

Whether I’m writing about economics, the climate crisis, San Francisco, Nairobi, Beirut, or Homs, my deepest interest is understanding the context—historical, economic, and political—of the headline news.

I work as a freelancer in strategic editorial consulting, developmental editing, editorial review, executive editing, copy-editing and coaching. Get in touch so we can chat about your project!
