I’m a content strategist and writer with a focus on research-driven content planning and execution. While my career has included integrated communications work with agencies, nonprofits, and higher education, my core strength has always been writing and content creation. I help organizations clarify their message and reach their goals through well-planned, well-crafted content. My experience spans a wide range of topics, including medical and scientific subjects, education, and consumer packaged goods. I’ve written across formats—from web and social media to video scripts, ad copy, and long-form content for internal and external audiences. I primarily work on a freelance or contract basis.
