About Me

Hi! I am a 30-year-old ghostwriter, author, and online profile manager based in Austin, TX. My freelance career has allowed me to live around the world as a digital nomad, although I prefer staying in one place with my partner and our two children pets. My day job is unique - I work as an online profile manager, swiping and writing messages for people on their dating profiles. Although most of my clients are heterosexual, I am a proud queer woman (and author of LGBTQ+ fiction).

The stories I have from my time traveling the world, dating, and helping other people find love vary:

  • The time I used Tinder to get my van started in New Zealand
  • The time I used Tinder to impress my boss while living/working in a hostel
  • That time I showed up to a Hinge date in Chile knowing no Spanish
  • How I met my partner on Bumble (and my very lame pick-up line that did the trick)
  • My advice for coming out to your Catholic parents (hint: it's not when they're operating a moving vehicle)
  • What I think straight daters can learn from queer couples

...and more!

If you want to get a sense of how I write and converse, take a look at my Substack. I keep things pretty clean, but have a dry sense of humor. Can't wait to talk all things relationships, travel, and storytelling!
