How I work
Every engagement starts in the same place: with a journalist's instinct to understand the story before committing to the format. I don't take briefs at face value.
I ask what the work actually needs to do, who it needs to reach, and what's missing. Then I build toward that — with precision, clarity, and a disability-informed lens that brings in perspectives most content strategies overlook entirely.

I write for publications that care about craft. My beat covers disability, race, gender, labor, and the systems that shape all four — with a focus on the stories that mainstream coverage flattens or misses. 200+ bylines across Forbes, Al Jazeera, TIME, Teen Vogue, NBCUniversal, PBS, Glamour, Business Insider, The Daily Beast, CJR, and others.
Available for commissions, contributed essays, reported features, op-eds, and collaborative investigations. I'm also one of the only journalists working across media and content strategy published in Developmental Medicine and Child Neurology, a leading peer-reviewed medical journal.
I've led content strategy for B2B SaaS, PropTech, and consumer tech companies — building editorial systems that serve both organic search and the humans doing the searching. At Pinterest, I grew organic B2B traffic 25% YoY. At ButterflyMX, I scaled blog output 3x, lifted domain authority 40%, and increased lead capture conversion 18%.
What distinguishes my content strategy work is the editorial layer — every piece has a human argument at its center, not just a keyword cluster. That combination converts better, holds up longer, and builds trust that paid acquisition can't buy.
I bring lived experience with cerebral palsy, a journalist's instinct for accuracy, and an economist's eye for systemic patterns to every sensitivity and DEI engagement. I've worked with Macmillan's FSG imprint on sensitivity reads for middle-grade novels centering disability, advised brand campaigns on inclusive messaging, and helped institutions audit their language for ableist assumptions.
This isn't checkbox consultation. I provide substantive written notes — specific to the text or campaign — with context, alternatives, and an explanation of why something does or doesn't work for the communities it aims to represent.
I speak on disability and intersectionality in journalism, inclusive storytelling in media and marketing, and the professional experience of building a career with a visible disability. My keynotes are equal parts reported and personal — grounded in evidence, animated by story, and calibrated to leave audiences with something actionable.
Past engagements include a graduation keynote at Columbia University, a lecture at the UCSB Disability Studies Initiative, a presentation at the 74th Annual AACPDM, a panel at The Wing, and workshops with Detour Theater and ProPublica.
Most engagements fall into one of three shapes. If yours doesn't fit neatly, reach out anyway — the LLC is small by choice, which means I can be more responsive and specific than a large agency.
A defined deliverable with a clear scope, timeline, and fee. Best for commissions, one-off content pieces, sensitivity reads, audits, and speaking engagements.
Best for: Editors commissioning work, publishers needing a sensitivity read, organizations booking a speaker, brands needing a one-time asset.
An ongoing monthly arrangement with agreed-upon deliverables and strategy support. Best for companies that need consistent, high-quality content and editorial direction over time.
Best for: SaaS and tech companies scaling content, organizations building an editorial practice, brands that need a steady voice and strategic thinking.
Strategic counsel without the full execution — content audits, editorial positioning, DEI content strategy, or a journalist's perspective on a campaign before it ships.
Best for: In-house teams needing an outside lens, leadership wanting honest editorial feedback, organizations building disability-inclusive communications.
"My speech was shaped by CP. I built a career in a spoken-word profession anyway. That's not a cautionary tale — that's the way I roll."
Available for in-person and virtual engagements. Speaker fee varies by event type, organization size, and travel. Media kit available on request.
