Most businesses don't have a content problem. They have a strategy problem.
Publishing more content doesn't automatically generate traffic, leads, or trust. The content has to answer the right questions, match search intent, reflect the brand's voice, and move readers toward action. That's where I do my best work.
I'm an SEO Content Strategist and Copywriter with experience helping global brands, financial professionals, startups, and growing businesses create content that performs. Most recently, I worked as an SEO Growth Analyst at Sotheby's, where I partnered with editorial teams and subject matter experts to improve organic visibility through keyword research, competitor analysis, content audits, on page SEO, internal linking strategies, and search focused editorial planning.
Because I ghostwrote alongside Sotheby's specialists, much of my work is published under department experts rather than my own name. Behind the scenes, I helped shape content strategies and optimize editorial content that balanced search performance with Sotheby's luxury brand voice.
Prior to Sotheby's, I worked at Morgan Stanley supporting 14 Financial Advisors with content strategy, LinkedIn thought leadership, newsletters, email marketing, and client communications. My work contributed to more than $6.5 million in new client assets while helping advisors strengthen their digital presence and build credibility with prospective clients. I also hold my FINRA Series 7 license, giving me a strong understanding of investing, wealth management, financial markets, and financial products.
My experience spans finance, AI, SaaS, B2B, luxury, technology, ecommerce, marketing, and professional services. I enjoy taking complex topics and turning them into content that's clear, engaging, and genuinely useful.
My core expertise includes SEO content strategy, keyword research, long form blog writing, landing pages, service pages, website rewrites, thought leadership, ghostwriting, brand messaging, email newsletters, competitor research, content audits, on page SEO, internal linking, WordPress publishing, AI assisted content workflows, and technical research.
I use AI tools like ChatGPT and Claude to streamline research, brainstorming, outlining, and editing, but never as a replacement for critical thinking. Every piece is fact checked, heavily edited, optimized for search intent, and refined until it reads naturally and reflects the client's unique voice.
Whether I'm writing a long form SEO article, developing a content strategy, rewriting an entire website, or creating a newsletter that builds trust with customers, my goal is always the same: create content that people actually enjoy reading while supporting measurable business growth.
If you're looking for someone who understands both strategy and execution, I'd love to help.

I've spent over the last half decade working full-time writing and editing quality copy for many websites. One of my greatest strengths is the ability to work independently and provide excellent work with minimal oversight or direction. I pride myself on the ability to take complex ideas and break them down into succinct, easily digestible pieces.
If you provide the topic and a basic structure of what you want, I can provide you with any type of article or copy you need. I'm very flexible when it comes to hours, pay, and project details, so feel free to reach out and see if we can work together!
