copywriting
At a loss for words? Let’s get your story out there. In addition to magazine writing, I have experience crafting professional biographies, marketing copy and SEO-minded web content. Here's a sample of some of my published work.
KC Options
Having recently relocated from Houston to Kansas City, I was excited for a chance to dig into my new city. In the 2018 issue, I contributed professional profiles and fashion content.
Four Seasons Magazine: Tory Burch
I've always been impressed by Tory Burch's drive and graciousness, so I was excited for an opportunity to pick her brain about how her love of travel influences her iconic designs.
Special Super Bowl Publication
In 2017, Houston hosted The Big Game and, in the months leading up to the event, Texas Monthly produced a custom publication highlighting the city from a visitor's perspective. I contributed a six-page section covering shopping and beauty.
KC Weddings
Since 2010, I've been a regular contributor to KC Weddings. I've covered a little bit of everything, from registry advice and honeymoon stories to trend features and bridal profiles.
Houston Brides: Real Weddings
I contributed to Houston Brides a few times throughout the years, but one of my favorite profiles focused on a couple with an over-the-top, sophisticated southern wedding.
Southwest Airlines Spirit: San Antonio + Houston
I had an opportunity to contribute lifestyle content for two issues of Spirit magazine. Topics ranged from real estate and tourism to profiles with local representatives including Julian Castro.
Houston Modern Luxury
I contributed to Houston magazine several times during my time in the city, but one of my favorite pieces highlighted a trio of novels set to be released about wild crimes with Texas ties.
Chicago Social Brides
After tying the knot, I pitched a story about navigating the name-change process. The piece was well-liked by CS Brides and was also picked up by Houston Brides and Modern Luxury Weddings Atlanta.
Bungalow Magazine
Armed with a love for interior design, I jumped at the chance to write for the inaugural issue of Bungalow magazine. One of my stories took a peek inside a renovated Houston Heights bungalow that blended historic charm with modern pop.
