I'm an experienced content writer, editor, and researcher. I'm comfortable working as a ghostwriter or publishing under my name. Since my college studies focused on English and research, I have a strong foundation ideal for tackling projects. My skills include researching data on topics and creating unique content. My range of skills also extends to AI labeling and comparison for private brands and large corporations. Humanizing AI content is also right up my alley.

I'm a self-professed word-nerd with an intense affection for grammar and punctuation. I love telling stories and educating myself and others. Lucky for my clients, this bizarre mashup of passions has made me an excellent content writer. • BLOGS & EMAIL: I help small and mid-sized businesses tell their stories and connect with their audiences by writing compelling, informative blogs, newsletters, social media content, and more. My written content allows them to educate their followers, build their "know, trust, and like"-factor, and sell their products or services. • SEO: I actively partner with brands looking to boost their search engine optimization as well as build a robust library of content that showcases their knowledge and industry thought leadership. • MONTHLY CONTENT STRATEGY: I work directly with my clients to develop a content game plan, write conversational (and jargon-free) blog content, and execute email marketing plans. My weird love of wordsmith-ing at a young age led me to a career in writing and I love it.
