Professional/Personal Overview
I am a versatile writer who uses rich language to create exciting, compelling, and meaningful articles, stories, brands, radio/audio scripts, print materials, websites, social media content, grant applications, poetry and fiction. I have been a communications professional for 25+ years and a grant writer for 10+ years (research, writing, submission and management of federal, state and private foundation grant applications). I love research and I am a skilled interviewer. I am adept at translating complex concepts (like science or technical subjects) into easily understandable content/articles for laypeople and lifetime learners (see NSF, Smithsonian and Nat'l Park Service credits). Other skills inslude strategic project development, administrative mgmt, needs assessment, evaluation, and reporting. Above all, my passion is and always will be the written word. I hope I can help you accomplish your goals through the excellent use of language!
