I’ve always earned my living as a storyteller. First, as a film and TV costumer for 15 years. Then, I swapped looks for language 11 years ago, keeping a keen eye on the aesthetic.

If words are what makes us human, they are what make me tick. I’m a NYT crossword devotee, NYU Communications major, alliteration addict, novice poet, vocabulary nerd, and champion of handwritten letters. I have a soft spot for puns fuelled by a love for microbrews – Smooth Hoperator anyone?

I flex my lexicon muscles on the daily as a fluent French speaker. Having called LA, NYC, Seattle, and Marseille home, I easily immerse into new cultures. As an identical twin, I work well with others…and have been doing so since the womb.  

  • Fluent in French, I’m available for bi-lingual coverage and translation needs

  • I lead intimate food tours as the Marseille Bureau Chief for Culinary Backstreets

  • Yes Way Marseille is my indispensable English guide to France's coolest city
