Professional Experience

Experienced writer available for print and the web. I am also part of a small company that creates fun and effective explainer (animated whiteboard) videos that are great B2B marketing tools. I love crafting original stories from interviews, proofreading and editing publications, and blogging on all types of topics. I've proofread and edited books, magazines and newspapers. I wrote a travel book in 2010, and have written for online publications like the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation's www.history.org website, for the national website for Advance for Nurses, and Kirkus Media (book reviews). I've covered topics ranging from the law to healthcare to forestry, and everything in between. I also have experience in technical writing and editing, writing website copy and press releases, and have worked as a teacher and in the financial industry. I am dependable, creative and can get your job done on time while maintaining high standards.
