Professional Experience

I'm your classic Jill-of-all-trades. Online, I've developed tone, voice, branding elements, and overall site copy. Since I have a strong research background, I've covered topics as varied as entertainment, health/wellness, real estate, lifestyle, humor, and food. Additionally, I've researched and written newsletters, targeted email campaigns, SEO-savvy blog posts, advertorials, brochures, catalogues, video/TV/webinar scripts, slideshows, print articles, press releases, biographies, firm profiles, ad copy, social media content, quizzes, B-to-B presentations, and marketing copy.
