Reimagining Social Connection
Quick Project Overview
As a Narrative Strategist and Writing Contributor to TimeLeft, I shape thought leadership pieces on cultural trends, digital wellbeing, and Gen Z insights. My narrative essays explore how humor, technology, and civic imagination intersect with loneliness, connection, and the futures of belonging. These writings extend TimeLeft’s mission and build out the editorial narrative of the brand.

TimeLeft highlights cultural and generational insights to show how everyday choices and narratives shape belonging. I reached out to their brand team and pitched a series of ideas, articles, and strategy that have transformed into an editorial partnership.
