TERRA FORM
​​
​I help set ideas free by giving them their own life. As a creative storyteller, I translate concepts into literary and visual artifacts.
​
I've spent the last fifteen years working with authors, artists, publishers, nonprofits, educators, and start-ups. ​
​
I specialize in editing and writing, with experience in creative direction, videography, audio engineering, film and digital photography, and web design. ​​
​
I received my BA from the University of California Berkeley after developing and defending the title “Health, Technology and Modernity.” I minored in Luso-Brazilian Studies, lived abroad in Brazil, and spent a Spring aboard Semester at Sea.
​
After Berkeley, I backpacked with my film camera across the United States and multiple continents.
In 2016, I co-founded, built, and acted as COO for a vegetable and flower farm in Northern California. As I cultivated our farm, I fell in love with the power and process of telling its story.
Since then, I've collaborated on over a hundred team projects with businesses, authors, and artists.
​
My hobbies in music-making, photography, and videography allow me to record, edit, organize, and archive complex projects while seamlessly transitioning between hardware, software, and technical programs.
This spring, I'll complete an MA in Journalism and Media Innovation from Emerson College. I'm also a member of their Transformational Leaders Graduate Fellowship. ​​
Part of the reason I've gravitated toward book editing is that I love learning. I regularly attend editing and writing workshops, and I received the Intermediate Certificate from ACES: the Society for Editing.​
​
I'm an active member of professional associations like ACES: The Society for Editing; NLGJA: The Association of LGBTQ+ Journalists; and Investigative Reporters and Editors (IRE).
