Professional Experience

My experience includes working on political and non-profit campaigns, in addition for the federal government, law enforcement agencies, and law offices. I am now making the transition into the private sector by freelance writing for businesses and executives. I write press releases, web and social media content, and op-eds, in addition to media relations and crisis management. I am considered an expert speechwriter and debate coach in politics, and hope to use that skill for C-level executives seeking to improve their public image. Currently living in my home-city of Denver, I once lived in Washington, D.C, and New York City. I am completely willing to travel for certain projects!
