About Me
Hi! I’m an editor, writer, and journalist with 6 years of experience and a degree in English from the University at Albany. Post-grad, I worked a few part-time jobs before realizing I wasn’t feeling creatively fulfilled. After being forced to recover at home from a chronic illness, Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, I decided to use my free time to physically recover and return to my literary roots. Writing about my journey back to health became the purest form of catharsis. The feedback to the articles was astoundingly positive and overwhelmingly supportive, leading me to pursue a career as a professional writer and editor.

The Grimes Creative
In late 2020, I started The Grimes Creative to take back my creative freedom. This entire website — designing, creating, writing, editing, and updating, was completed by myself — and it’s truly a labor of love.
Today, I work full time as an editor and as a writer/editor for small companies. I help brands find their voice, tell their stories, and increase their worth through quality copy.

UAlbany Magazine
I started working as a journalist and writer with the University at Albany Alumni Magazine. It is an honor to work with the institution that turned me into the creative I am today.
