Los Angeles, CA

CopywriterCopy EditorWeb Developer

Give me an assignment; I'll deliver. A well-rounded, experienced freelancer, I offer a full package of communications and editorial services, ranging from producing, writing and editing print/online content to social media and website management, soup-to-nuts website design and development, desktop publishing, and children's book design. I approach each project with expertise, enthusiasm, and attention to detail—whether it's building a professional-quality website, or writing a direct mail fund-raising campaign, an engaging marketing collateral package, a breezy lifestyle/arts/culture/travel article, or an insightful personality profile. Based in the metro Los Angeles area, I am available for projects worldwide.

Book AuthorReporterWriter

Writing about health and psychology is my passion. A prolific journalist and author, I focus on health, medicine, mental health, psychology, and the mind/body connection. Along with extensive experience, I have a master's degree in psychology. My byline appears widely on major websites, and I blog about "Minding the Body" for Psychology Today. I'm also the author or coauthor of fourteen books, including six books about adolescent mental health for Oxford University Press. In addition, I create custom content for dozens of large medical centers and health insurance plans around the country. Much of my writing focuses on factors that foster health and happiness - things such as diet, exercise, mindfulness, sleep, stress management, and a connection with nature. I have a special interest in health promotion and disease prevention. But I also write frequently about living well with chronic illnesses, such as anxiety, depression, diabetes, heart disease, asthma, and COPD.

Jessica Robles

Rahway, NJ

WriterSocial MediaReporter

I've always been interested in telling stories even when it didn't seem so obvious before. After I immerse myself in a particular topic (e.g. international financial auditing principles, federal regulations, regional medical standards, or statutory legal developments), I work hard to turn complicated (and sometimes banal) subjects into something that connects with people (clients, patients, families, consumers). My undergraduate degree is in technical communications with a specialization in chemistry, and I anticipate earning a master’s degree in journalism from Harvard University (May 2019). SPECIALTIES: Telling true stories well, producing videos on a shoestring budget, managing social media strategies, developing platform-specific content, analyzing complex data to tell a compelling story.
