About Me

I’m an Oxford comma enthusiast who’s been lucky enough to create a career out of writing for more than 15 years.

What I Do

I specialize in helping organizations maximize the impact of their internal and external messaging to engage their audience, build business relationships, and increase their revenue. I take complex ideas and technical jargon and turn them into simple, easy to understand, plain language.
I’ve created and managed communications campaigns; crafted marketing and website copy; crafted target-audience online and print publication content; developed and managed business proposal responses; and documented polices, procedures, and technical specifications.
