About Me

I worked as a book publicist in New York City for over a decade, including time at Penguin Random House (Putnam and Riverhead Books), and most recently as Director of Publicity at HarperCollins Publishers (Harper and Harper Wave Books). I managed high profile bestselling authors, industry and thought leaders, politicians, and celebrity personalities.

Some of the authors I have worked with include: Daniel Silva, Walter Mosley, Ken Follett, Helen Oyeyemi, Sue Grafton, Nathaniel Rich, Patricia Cornwell, Khaled Hosseini, Nick Hornby, Sarah Vowell, Julie Klam, Kim Severson, Janny Scott, and Plum Sykes.

Celebrity personalities, brands, and thought leaders: Goldie Hawn, Senator Harry Reid, Secretary James A. Baker III, Bulletproof Coffee, Trish McEvoy, Blue Apron, King Arthur Flour, Amelia Freer, Scott McGillivray, Donna Hay, Chuck Hughes and Andrea Martin.

After I left New York I served as the Director of Communications and Marketing at Emory University in Atlanta for four years.

I currently work for High10 Media and am finishing a novel.
