Writer & Editor

United States

My three favorite things are baseball, writing, and editing. I've been a baseball fan since I was nine years old, and I have turned that enthusiasm into a full-time role as a Homepage Editor for Major League Baseball. When I'm not editing stories and webpages for MLB.com, here's some other projects I have going on:

• I am a newsletter editor for the Internet Baseball Writers' Association of America
• I co-host a Mets and MLB-focused podcast, Cohen's Corner

With my work, I aim to inspire other sports fans to find their voice and express themselves confidently. My writing has been published by MLB.com, the Baseball Hall of Fame, The Twin Bill, Rising Apple, and Girl at the Game.

I graduated from the McIntire School of Commerce at the University of Virginia with majors in Marketing and Management, a concentration in Advertising and Digital Media, and a minor in English. If you need a hand in any of the following areas, I would love to help:

• College essays
• Copy editing (short and long-form work)
• Fact-checking
• Any kind of writing (articles, blurbs, blogs, headlines, etc.)
• SEO strategy
