Words hold power. And the way we tell stories is important.
Whether for a brand, a business, or an individual, the way a story is told shapes how it is remembered. I’m drawn to that specific voice behind the message: the tone, the rhythm, the choice of one word over another. Honouring that voice is fundamental to good writing.
I don’t want to write to sound clever. I want to write to sound true. I want to craft language that feels unmistakable.
Powerful writing rarely needs to shout.
Who I am
I am someone who gives a shit — about language, about the world, about people and their stories. I care about what’s happening, why it’s happening, and how it’s told. And I care about fighting for those voices that are so often silenced.
A story can be four perfect words or a sprawling epic. Either way, I can help tell it, whether it's your personal story or the essence of your brand.
I love the English language and I know how to use it.
With eight years of professional writing experience, including five years as an in-house content and copywriter, I’ve had the privilege of working across a range of industries: tech, medical, fashion, travel, non-profit, and the arts. I write for both clients and publications, and specialize in long form SEO pieces. I dabble (in spite of myself) in content strategy and small-scale social media management. I also work as a translator (Italian to English), and I recently founded a private tutoring company.
Throughout and after my time at McGill University, where I graduated with First Class Honours in Literature, I worked in a neighbourhood bar in Montreal. It was a writer’s gold mine. I heard stories and learned how to tell them. That experience shaped how I listen, how I write, and how I understand people.
What I do
From intimate speeches to sharp brand copy, I write with clarity, care, and versatility. If you're looking for a thoughtful, flexible writer who can shape your story, whatever the format or voice, I’d enjoy hearing from you.
