Professional Experience
I am a creative, adaptable and quick freelance writer who helps editors uncover and tell unique and compelling stories, and corporate clients excise the snooze factor from corporate communications. I deliver (on time, of course) amazing web content; engaging articles; effective, eye-opening speeches; and guaranteed non-dull corporate communications. Combining a journalism degree with years in the corporate trenches, I know how listen for the great quote in an interview, push back on possibly dubious facts, be brief and correct, and translate marketing- and human resources-speak into English.
Just like the Bee Gees said, "it's only words and words are all I have to take your heart away."
