The Work I Do & Working With You

No matter your vision or area of expertise, clear and concise writing will help you reach the goals you've set and long to achieve. But you're busy, and sometimes you don't have the capacity to spend needed time on writing and editing.

That's where I come in. 

Leaning on my 10+ years of professional writing, editing, content development, and digital marketing experience for clients large and small, I'll work with you to craft effective communication to break through to your reader. For some proof, here's a sampling of what I've been up to lately: 

Hack Reactor (Owned by Galvanize)

I’m currently a full-time employee at Hack Reactor, a software engineering training/code school. I’m a Content Writer on the Product Development team, where I write stories and craft messaging with the goal of helping incoming students, current students, and graduates find professional success in their new careers.

I update the website, write blog posts, connect with alumni to share their success stories, write copy for emails and drip campaigns, marketing presentation scripts, and more.
