Summary
I am a detail-oriented professional with a passion for words. I love finding and communicating whatever the narrative is within a project–be it a personal story, brand, or product. In addition to my formal education and awards in creative writing, I have many years of experience editing and writing for a variety of academic and industry settings and businesses including technical, STEM, and social science environments. I also have experience with blogging, social media content, SEO, and interview-based article writing.
