Hi. I'm Marie, a writer and an editor.

I love helping brands channel big ideas into words.

Much of my work falls into lifestyle editorial or SEO-driven content. For some projects, I’ve enjoyed the challenge of blending both categories.

I was most recently a content strategist for the hearing aid brand Eargo. Prior to that, I was a digital editor at MasterClass. I’ve also shaped content for the publications C California Style (“C Magazine”), Gio Journal, Haute Living, and 944; for UCLA and other institutions; and for the tech startups Hart, Payoff, and Ring. And I was the founding editor-in-chief of Modern Luxury Scottsdale magazine.

An adaptable content creator, I’ve had the pleasure of digging into a vast array of topics, ranging from Germany’s recycling program to real estate valuation services to the next big TV show and many, many others. No matter the topic, I make it my mission to find and deliver a compelling narrative that achieves the brand’s desired results.

Some highlights …

  • I orchestrated the simultaneous launches of a lifestyle website, newsletter, and web series for fintech company Payoff.

  • I’ve created or helped to create brand and style guides for nearly a dozen different publications and companies.

  • I managed copy projects for the UCLA Health schools of Dentistry, Medicine, Nursing & Public Health.

  • I wrote all the copy for the Hart app by mapping the user’s journey through every possible experience.

  • I overhauled the internal website 1,000-plus employees at Ring (maker of the smart doorbell) use as their singular resource hub.

  • I co-wrote and co-hosted a monthly web series about personal finances for Payoff.

  • I was a regular on-camera personality for the local news show Your Life Arizona.

Thanks for stopping by.
