Writing

I believe storytelling makes us human...

From the day I picked up my first chapter book, words have been an inextricable part of my being. I have worked with companies all over the US to help them bring their own voices into the business they do.

Copywriting

Website copy, launch campaigns, sales and enablement material, email sequences.

Ghostwriting

Essays, op-eds, newsletters, speeches. You bring the ideas; I make them land in your voice.

Industry work

Higher ed, edtech and B2B SaaS, entertainment
