Professional Experience
Freelance writer, brand journalist, content operations specialist, writing coach. After 35 years as a working writer (I had my first newspaper gig at 17), I know a thing or two about producing content that resonates with the audience and drives business results. Specializing in business (particularly development, architecture and med/pharma/wellness), but trained as a general assignment reporter. In other words, if you need it, I can produce it, or help you produce it better.
