About

I’m a writer, journalist, and content strategist with over a decade of experience at the intersection of culture, technology, and health. My work spans narrative nonfiction, reported features, and content strategy for healthtech organizations.

As a journalist, I’ve published hundreds of well-researched articles in outlets like Teen Vogue, Esquire, Vice, Rolling Stone, TruthOut, and Filter Mag. My reporting has explored culture, LGBTQ+ issues, harm reduction, and policing, including stories of incarcerated transgender people through Shadowproof’s Trans Behind Bars column.

I write about technology and internet culture on my Substack, Adryan Online. I’m currently querying a hybrid memoir about growing up online in the ‘00s.

I also help healthtech organizations craft inclusive, engaging content about LGBTQ+ health, gender-affirming care, reproductive care, pelvic floor therapy, and mental health. I’ve worked with gender-affirming care provider FOLX Health, mental healthtech startup Alma, and pelvic floor therapy platform Origin, bringing a journalist’s approach to storytelling to ensure brands connect with their audiences in a meaningful way.
