SELECTED WORK
A closer look at how I shape editorial strategy, brand voice, content systems, and cross-platform storytelling for entertainment, media, and culture-driven brands.
The HOWARD STERN SHOW & CHANNELS / SIRIUSXM
Editorial Strategy, Digital Content & Audio Storytelling
At The Howard Stern Show, I helped turn a legendary audio brand into a steady stream of digital, social, promotional, and editorial content. My work involved identifying the strongest moments from live and recorded programming, shaping them for web, app, social, and Howard 101 promotion, and maintaining the voice, accuracy, and energy of one of entertainment’s most recognizable brands.
As Managing Editor, I led editorial strategy and content direction across key Howard 101 programming, including the Wrap Up Show, Stern Show Summer School, Sternthology Live!, specials, and related digital coverage. I wrote and oversaw promotional copy, helped shape clips and social packaging, led guest-angle and content-planning conversations, and built repeatable systems for calendars, promo workflows, clip priorities, headline framing, and coverage plans around major interviews and programming moments.

Writing, Voice & Creative Direction
Promotional Copy, Interviews, Social Packaging & Cultural Storytelling
Overview
I’ve written across a wide range of voices, formats, and audiences — from celebrity interview coverage and short-form social packaging to gaming editorial, promotional copy, in-world brand humor, and culture-driven storytelling. My strength is finding the clearest hook, shaping the right tone, and turning raw material into content that feels specific to the brand and meaningful to the audience.

Editorial Systems & Content Leadership
Calendars, Workflows, Teams & Cross-Platform Publishing
Sample Editorial Calendar & Publishing Workflow
Designed a sample editorial calendar system based on real editorial workflows I’ve managed across programming, digital, social, and video teams. The system is built to organize publishing cadence, platform priorities, approvals, asset status, owners, deadlines, and campaign planning in one clear shared view.
Creative content can become chaotic quickly, especially when multiple teams, stakeholders, platforms, deadlines, and approval layers are involved. The challenge is not just producing good work. It is building a system that allows good work to happen consistently.
I have led editorial planning, managed content calendars, directed copy and publishing workflows, top-edited work, shaped creative priorities, and helped teams translate broad goals into clear content plans. At SiriusXM, this included Howard 101 programming and digital content. At Rockstar, it included fast-moving editorial and social campaigns. In other roles, it included managing content operations across publishing, marketing, and audience development needs.
I focus on clarity first. What is the story? Who is the audience? Where will this live? What does success look like? Who needs to approve it? What can be repeated? From there, I build systems that make the work easier to execute: calendars, templates, publishing rhythms, headline frameworks, review processes, and content categories.
Impact
