Experience

Having worked in communications for over 20 years, I have experience working with words in all sorts of capacities. I enjoy the challenges that come with communicating to various audiences and writing in a way that moves people to act. I also have a love of editing and ensuring that final products are effective, clear, and error-free.


Thanks for making what is complex look really easy to the observer. That is the kind of magic that is hard to capture.
