Portland, Maine

Hi, I’m the human behind this profile. Let’s be honest: most AI content sounds like, well, AI content. I think you know what I mean. My job is making sure yours doesn't. As a content strategist, copywriter, and editor, I’ve spent years writing across a pretty broad mix of lifestyle and consumer industries. I've covered everything from home building and DIY to insurance, real estate, wellness, and local community projects. Along the way, I’ve written lifestyle articles, newsletters, landing pages, and plenty of pieces that required me to become a "temporary expert" in something completely new by the end of the week. One thing I've learned? Whether you're selling software or luxury condos, people just want clear, useful content written by someone who actually gets them. These days, spinning up 10,000 words with AI isn't the hard part. The real challenge is making sure that content actually sounds human, preserves your unique voice, builds trust, and gives people a reason to keep reading. That’s where I come in. I specialize in AI-assisted workflows, helping brands: ► Humanize AI output: Turning stiff, predictable drafts into polished, engaging copy people actually want to read. ► Protect your voice: Building style guidelines and content systems that scale without losing your personal touch. ► Simplify the complex: Translating dry or confusing topics into warm, conversational, and clear language. ► Optimize for today: Formatting content so it easily surfaces across traditional search and new AI search assistants. ► Guard your credibility: Fact-checking, editing, and tightening up content before it goes live. Clients usually hire me because I can jump in, nail their specific tone, and deliver clean, strategic work with limited hand-holding. How we can work together: ► AI Content Editing & Humanization ► Content Strategy & Audits ► Website & Landing Page Copy ► Brand Messaging & Voice Guidelines ► Blogs, Lifestyle Articles & Social Media If you're ready to make your content sound less like a machine and more like an actual human being, let’s chat.
