Astray writing workshop
Workshop participant
For the entirety of June 2025, I was in Tokyo, Japan for a month-long freelance writing workshop with Astray. I refreshed my knowledge freelancing while networking with the workshop instructors and fellow students.
I wrote a piece here and received edits from the instructors. I am currently in the process of pitching the article.

Trapped! Escape Room
Digital Marketing Strategist
Small escape room brand with locations in Las Vegas and California
I managed the social media of 3 escape rooms. I started off as Social Media Coordinator but through my leadership skills, I got promoted to Digital Marketing Strategist. I created themed campaigns to creatively promote their room experiences, like a blind box parody to capitalize off the trend of Labubu. Other campaigns I spearheaded include a commercial parody for each room and the brand’s 10 year anniversary celebration. I came up with ideas and a game plan, and instructed my staff on what to create.

Cosplay to Couture: How Steff Von Schweetz Brought Anime Chic from Screen to Vegas Streets
Stephanie, who goes by Steff online, is a professional sewist and cosplayer. The word “cosplay” is a portmanteau of “costume play,” where artists dress as characters from various media. They have taken it much further than simple dress-up and roleplay—it’s now a career for them, beyond cosplay and into the realm of fashion design itself.

Driving is Hell in Sin City
Las Vegas citizens are well aware of the terrors of driving in the city. Speeding is so common that the safe speed limit to match the flow of traffic is usually 5 or 10 miles over. People change lanes without a care or turn signal. But why is that? This article dives into Vegas driving culture and ties it to an unfortunately common tragedy of car accident trauma—including my own.

Nightsky Newscast
Host, creator
My pride and joy is the Nightsky Newscast, a Youtube series in collaboration with the Dale Etheridge Planetarium, Las Vegas’ only planetarium. I report on astronomy news and events for the local community. I oversee most everything for the show—scripting, production, editing, and hosting.

Sample script
I use Google Docs to make my scripts and share them with my collaborators helping me on the Newscast. I first come up with ideas, bullet points I want to cover for them, and then flesh out the script.
