I’m obsessed with hummus and the unicorn emoji—but I’m even more obsessed with crafting the perfect chemistry of words that makes a message resonate past first impression.
Some things about me:
My path to copywriting started with screenwriting, which evolved into journalism, which then created a fusion that brought me to advertising.
In 2017 I enrolled at Miami Ad School to learn the craft of writing for brands. While in school I started freelancing for publications, writing for The Washington Post, CNN, Teen Vogue, and more.
My writing led to me speaking at media conferences in Jerusalem and at the UN. Moral of the story: never discount the power of words, no matter how small.
In 2019, a story I wrote on Cystic Fibrosis in the Ashkenazi Jewish community led me to writing about healthcare— which is why you’re probably reading this bio right now.

One of my most recent pieces was a cover story on Cystic Fibrosis and why treatment remains elusive for carriers who are Ashkenazi Jews. It’s this piece that served as a catalyst for exploring pharma copy.
