A brief overview of my strengths, skills, and work experience.

Beyond the sex shop, my educational work extends to various media outlets within the adult industry as a copywriter, consultant, and producer. I was also a co-writer and co-instructor for this free online course in porn literacy, “How to Watch Porn.”

I’ve written personal essays, reported articles, playful listicles, advice columns, artist profiles, brand newsletters and more on relationships, pleasure products, erotic entertainment, and the way the media portrays them all.

Hosting and producing the podcast “POV by Lustery” has helped me grow as a storyteller, and uncovered a true knack for interviewing. One of my favorite conversations was with actress Maitland Ward, on how her adult film roles have liberated her from Hollywood’s skewed perception of women.

As an editor, I work on short- and long-form prose manuscripts (fiction and non-fiction) including structural editing, line editing, copyediting, and proofreading.

When the podcast spurred flattering feedback on my sound, I was inspired to become a voice artist. As a native English speaker with B2 German proficiency, I’m a versatile performer with experience in short stories, narration, and show hosting. Please contact me for a full acting reel.

My Substack features storytelling on the difficult truths of the human experience, and how we can use them to thrive as artists and individuals. Cultural taboos compelling silence on money, sex, loss, and more may work to uphold the dominant narratives, but the best art helps us to deconstruct them.
