I got into writing sideways. I’m a certified athletic trainer, and I’ve worked the full ladder of it, from an NFL sideline to college athletics to K-12 schools. The part I always liked most was explaining things: taking something complicated and making it make sense to a regular person. It turns out that’s a transferable skill.
I ghostwrite blogs, emails, and lifestyle content. My style is direct and reader-first. Clear sections, concrete takeaways, no filler. My portfolio so far is a career-advice piece and an evidence-based health article.
I’m building my freelance portfolio now, so your project gets my full attention. Deadlines, communication, revisions, and everything needed to create content worth publishing.
I try to write the way I think: say what’s true, skip the rest. I’m prepared to work in WordPress and learn your publishing workflow. If that sounds like what you need, I’d like to talk.

Spec piece written as a ghostwriting portfolio sample. The First Seven Days After a Career Setback A practical, reader-first article for professionals navigating a career setback: a layoff, a missed promotion, a stalled search. It gives the reader a two-pile mental model for separating what they can't change from what they control, a concrete seven-day plan (resume refresh while details are fresh, five plain-spoken conversations, one coffee chat a day, honest runway math), scripts for answering "what happened" without sounding like you're on trial, and a daily structure that keeps the week from dissolving into scrolling and replaying. Direct second person, short scannable sections, concrete actions in every paragraph. 776 words. Read the full piece (PDF): https://www.twine.net/signin blogwriting #ghostwriting #careers
Spec piece written as a medical-writing sample. Return to Sport After ACL Reconstruction: The Criteria-Based Timeline Athletes Actually Need A patient-facing health article that turns a dense clinical question, when is it actually safe to return to sport after ACL reconstruction, into something an athlete and their family can follow. Built on primary research (11 cited sources), it walks through why nine months is the floor rather than the finish line, the three gates that determine clearance (surgeon, rehab clinician, and the athlete's own psychological readiness), and the home-exercise adherence data most rehab plans gloss over. Precise with numbers, honest about where the evidence is thin, and written without jargon. 1,750 words.
