15+ years of loving all this mess.
I'm a senior-level writer currently based in the Midwest.
Stuck with brand messaging that's muddy and jargon-infested? I'll clean it up.
Complex info that needs to be easier for customers to understand? I'll simplify it.
Past projects include: Verizon, Proactiv, Janssen Pharmaceuticals, The Smile Generation, and Wyndham.
I'm experienced with agencies, large enterprises (Verizon, AT&T, Johnson & Johnson, Dell, NTT DATA), non-profits (IEHP, Toastmasters International), and startups.
I spent eight years writing for newspapers (The Orange County Register and community papers), and freelanced for various glossies (Orange Coast Magazine, 944 Magazine, Laguna Beach Magazine).
I spot trends, think creatively, ask good questions, and fact-check my work, by or before deadline.
