About Me

I am damned good at writing and editing copy that is engaging, effective, and often lots of fun to read. I work with incredible efficiency (and good humor), yet am always invested enough in whatever project I take on to do it with care and originality.

My experience is diverse and satisfying: from catalogs to web content to collateral material, I am able to synthesize information quickly and turn it
into copy that works.

In addition to copywriting, I also am a freelance journalist, editor and project manager, which means I am well-versed in the art of juggling many projects and personalities, all while working to deadline under my own supervision.
