Writing and Editing: From First Draft To Publication or Go-to-Market

Whether you need in-depth developmental editing or a final proofread, I’ve done it. Contact me to find out how I can help your words effectively deliver your messaging strategy, share your narrative, or sing on the page.

My approach is to develop and understand content ideas before implementing prose strategies. In other words, I generate ideas for or with clients before implementing the language and form that best conveys these to the intended audience.

I have worked for higher education, non-profit, philanthropy, publishing, and policy thinktank clients. I have held in-house roles in the corporate world at a research company and a fintech company.
