Professional Experience

I'm an experienced writing and editing professional who is adept at quickly writing a large amount of copy for a variety of businesses, keeping search engines in mind. I also do a significant amount of magazine and web writing. I enjoy vlogging (making short videos) and would like to use this skill to further brand an organization. I'm just as comfortable writing for a law firm as I am for a restaurant or a makeup line. I have the ability to adapt content to match the tone and goals of that client. I carefully craft topical and audience-appropriate blogs, magazine, and website copy for publication on national and regional platforms. I'm proficient in social media, and successfully develop a voice that is consistent with the rest of the brand while using these tools.
