Available to hire
I am a writer and researcher (MA in Ancient Culture) with years of experience turning complex and idiosyncratic information into clear, persuasive prose. My background both inside and outside of the academy has emphasized producing qualitative data syntheses, internal memos, and client-facing research briefs—work that requires incisive research, tight deadline management, and rigorous editing.
Strengths include audience-conscious story framing, value-proposition writing, and communicating conceptually technical or specialized material without flattening nuance or sacrificing elegance. I’m seeking writing and storytelling roles where research discipline, an eye for project cohesion, and high polish can support a team towards a shared goal.
