Professional Experience

I'm a Texas-based freelancer who specializes in personal finance, including retirement, saving and paying for college, and the financial advisor industry. I've written blog posts, white papers, magazine articles, annual reports, press releases, web copy and custom content for national clients in various sectors. I'm quick, meticulous, and thorough. I'm also an adaptable and capable writer with a curious mind, which has led me to accept assignments writing about pioneering mathematicians, rattlesnake festivals, and opera.
