As a dedicated writer and editor, I founded Prose Media LLC (www.prosemedia.com) to help build brands through high-quality writing by industry experts.

Powered by an industry-leading process and platform, a passionate editorial staff, and a network of 1,000+ elite, handpicked journalists and copywriters, Prose creates professionally-crafted content—from blog posts and articles to white papers and social media.

Our team at Prose has been grateful to serve a range of brands we admire: e.g., Alphabet / Google, Amazon, Atlassian, Braze, Broadcom, Canon, CareerBuilder, Cisco, Coursera, Elsevier, Emirates, Epson, Eventbrite, FCB, Forbes, Freshfields, Greylock Partners, HarperCollins, IPG, Jive, Levi's, Lionsgate, Logitech, McGraw Hill, Medtronic, Nasdaq, Nat'l Geographic, NEC, Nielsen, Northwell Health, Oath, Pearson, Princeton Review, Samsung, SAP, SONY, Stryker, SXSW, TEDx, ThermoFisher, Time Inc., Travelers, Twitter, United Healthcare, Univision, Wolters Kluwer, and Zeiss. Writing lists is one of our new specialties, apparently.

I was an Editor-in-Chief at Google, overseeing internal news for employees worldwide. More recently, I held the post of Director of Communications & Executive Speechwriter at Endeavor—a $30M entrepreneurship nonprofit with offices in 28 countries.

I also founded and manage a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, CourseWorld (www.courseworld.org), the first and largest online education site for the liberal arts.

I have written a tech humor column for Forbes.com and have published two books, Inside New York (a top-selling guidebook) and The Art of Bicycling, a poetry anthology. More recently I have written for The Wall Street Journal, Fortune/CNN Money, Reader's Digest, and Psychology Today. I also write Post-it Notes; my latest is entitled, tellingly, "Milk."

While getting my MFA in Writing from Columbia, where I funded my tuition through an online bookselling venture, I read poetry submissions at The New Yorker and was managing editor of Columbia: A Journal of Literature and Art. Previously, I studied literature at Oxford (4.0) and graduated from Tufts in 2003 with Highest Honors in English for a thesis (230pp.) on Joyce, Proust, and theories of personality. I founded and directed eFundraise, a social enterprise for nonprofit fundraising.

Personal interests: Literature; tech; tennis; film; music; online education; and writing awkwardly self-promotional online bios.
