About
I am a versatile writer who loves illuminating the details that make a narrative resonate as much as simplifying complex topics to inform and persuade.
Tell me all about cybersecurity safety plan recommendations, variations in auto lift cable specs, or metaphysical life coaching theories. Walk me through an accounting software tutorial, talk about the linemen you directed to rescue park visitors from a forest fire, talk about the types of mental health struggles you've helped therapy clients overcome, point to the characters in your drawing and describe the villain's motivation and the traits that help the hero prevail.
No matter how dry or lively the topic, I'm here to listen and translate ideas into a voice that enhances the brand personality, connects to the audience and inspires intended action. This can take the form of a SEO-friendly blog article, entire chapter of a book, user experience-driven website copy, print ads, newsletters, product website copy or case studies, print ads, email communications or video concepts.
As a teaching artist, I learned to help students tell their stories. This shaped my approach to ghostwriting.
During my years as an arts educator in Chicago, I showed students of all ages and circumstances how to get to the root of personal and imagined narratives through poetry, features articles, photo and text pairings, and screenplays. Teaching arts integration projects in elementary school classrooms, college media arts courses and workshops at community centers all broadened my understanding of the inner landscape that makes us both unique and alike. Whether helping women at a domestic violence shelter find their inner strength to guiding students on the importance of planning and technical processes to achieve their filmmaking vision, these experiences have influenced me as a writer and person.
