Her writing background influences every aspect of her creative leadership — shaping the way she approaches storytelling, design, and brand strategy.
Before earning her MFA, she studied English at Washington University in St. Louis, graduating Magna Cum Laude, where she began exploring how language, visual identity, and storytelling intersect to build trust and inspire action.

Her editorial work spans BUST Magazine, PopSugar, RaceBaitr, and the Black Youth Project — where she developed social campaigns, wrote and edited content, and built storytelling strategies centered on voice, clarity, and cultural impact.
As Online Community Manager for Supermajority, she oversaw story curation and audience engagement across a large national network, building expertise in brand voice, communication systems, and online community growth.
