About Me...
Writing has been a passion of mine since my teens and early 20s, when I won writing competitions and self-published 'zines for fun.
In my mid-20s and early 30s, I worked as a reporter for The Orange County Register (Santa Ana, California) and freelanced for local magazines including Orange Coast Magazine, Newport Beach Magazine, Laguna Beach Magazine, and 944.
I've spent the last 20 years as a copywriter, creating a variety of successful UX projects across a range of industries. Working closely with designers and stakeholders, I consistently apply design thinking and ethics to meet stakeholder goals while effectively streamlining the user experience.
I'm available for W2 and 1099 roles (remote, on-site, or hybrid) in or near Portland, Oregon.
