About me:

I translate complicated technical ideas into language people can understand and care about.

I've worked in social and content for 16+ years. I started at 13 running YouTube channels, then worked with tech and crypto creators, crypto media, and now Coinbase Developer Platform.

At Coinbase Developer Platform, I have helped launch products and partnerships with Google, OpenAI, AWS, Shopify, Checkout.com, Circle, Deel, and many others. I handle social communications, launch copy, executive posts, and partner coordination.
