writer // editor // content creator

Hey there! My name is Arbela and I’m a writer, editor, and photographer based in Cleveland, Ohio. I’m currently work as an associate editor at Cleveland Magazine where I cover style, arts, home, and other topics. I also do freelance writing and photography on the side and recently launched a newsletter where I talk about media, TV, fashion and more.

Some of my past positions include being the Editor in Chief of The Vindicator Arts and Culture Magazine and the Print Content Editor for Substream Magazine.

My published clips range from personal essays, interview-based pieces and long-form profiles for various publications.
