Freelance Partnerships + Content Strategy Consulting

Rescripted

Content and creator partnerships swiss army knife. Working on anything with words involved and activating brand partnerships by collaborating with organically aligned creators.

Rescripted is the largest global women's health media platform, reaching 9MM women monthly. Rescripted's thesis is that Sex Ed in America is broken, which is showing up today in the variety of chronic women's health conditions we now see across the board — from infertility to PCOS to thyroid dysfunction to period issues to autoimmunity — it seems just about no woman is immune to dealing with at least 1 ailment in the modern world.

We learn more about how to abstain from using our bodies in Sex Ed than we do about how they actually work. And when you don't know your body and how to work with it, you can never channel it, improve it, or utilize it in the ways you'd like. 

Rescripted is flipping the script around women's health by teaching women body literacy and how to leverage their own body as their greatest teacher. We're the "Google for Women's Health," providing women with the tools, resources, content, and community they need from their first period to their last.

Market Research & Analyst Intern

Partnerships at Finding Mastery | Content Strategy | Simplifying Health + Science Information | Women's Health Advocate | Ex-Oura Ring

All progress relies on the unreasonable wo(man).

Being 13 years into remission from a rare autoimmune disease called Dermatomyositis with no known cause or cure has inspired me to contribute to advancements in health innovation so present day patients aren’t constrained by the same limitations I faced growing up in a disintegrated system with limited access to alternative treatment options and digestible information. 

I am incredibly passionate about democratizing health information, making it seamless to understand, and actionable to weave into any lifestyle. 

I deeply value the scientific method. I invite you to challenge me on my position. I am in a continuous, ever-evolving pursuit of excellence. I love connecting with other inspired learners and leaders, driven to make a change in their field of dedication. 

My background walking onto a division-1 sport without any prior experience now bleeds into my professional endeavors. I take a bias toward action to identify critical growth channels, fine-tune messaging that connects with a community, and meets them in the moment. I’m passionate about building win-win relationships, leading with value, and aligning mission statements. 

I find passion working in fast-paced, ambiguous, and challenging environments with agile and highly collaborative team members. 

My unsolicited advice: Be unexpected. Set a new standard—with your actions, before your words. Be an advocate. Step up. Ask difficult questions. Make room for others at your table, especially those who don’t look or act like you. The race starts at mile 20, don’t give in.
