The essentials

I’ve had corporate email addresses.

Havas Life San Francisco | 2020 – Present

Group Copy Supervisor | Copy Supervisor

I lead day-to-day creative functioning and manage writers for 2 brand portfolios; develop and present large-scale and campaign creative initiatives to internal and external teams; and work on and present in new business pitches. (Sometimes, I prolong status meetings with a recurring, but irregular, series called “WhatTheFact.”)

Disease-state experience: PKU; Achondroplasia; ANCA-associated vasculitis; Cancer screening

Evoke Group | 2015 – 2020

Copy Supervisor | Senior Copywriter | Copywriter

I was the lead writer and brand owner for a novel UF treatment launch and a cardiovascular device portfolio; copy lead on brands as varied as medical aesthetics, fertility, and type 2 diabetes; and, for a while, the go-to copy chameleon for nearly every brand at the agency. (I also picked up the only sports trivia in my arsenal from constant exposure to rabid Philadelphia sports fans.)

Disease-state experience: Uterine fibroids; Cardiovascular devices; Medical aesthetics; Assisted reproductive technology; Type 2 diabetes; HPV vaccination

GSW | 2013 – 2015

Copywriter | Junior Copywriter

I received a comprehensive education in the fundamentals of healthcare advertising across two radically different brands, while occasionally being allowed to indulge my whimsy during pitch creative exercises. (This job also forced me to learn how to drive, spawning an enduring passion for urbanism.)

Disease-state experience: Men’s health | Bladder cancer

Lafayette College | 2008–2012

B.A. Economics

B.A. Government & Law

I’ve acquired an education.

I have no carrier pigeons.

But I can be reached the old-fashioned ways.
