I’m a storyteller, and it’s my strongly held belief that in any content, it’s necessary to find the narrative. As an audience, regardless of medium, we’re hard-wired to search for it in everything we consume. As a writer and editor who has traveled the world, writing for different publications and clients, I'm ultimately an expert at finding that narrative and communicating it to the right audience.

I am a project manager for a language translation company, tasked with editing and proofreading translated documents to ensure the highest quality. In addition, I manage the company social media accounts, creating original content for marketing and information purposes, as well rewriting for the company website and email marketing blasts. I have several years of academic research writing experience, as well as blog and informational article writing experience. I am proficient at proofreading and editing, with a keen eye for details.
