Hire the Best Journalists in Arizona

The brain of a data detective, the pen of a journalist, and the instincts of a compliance lawyer. For 40+ years, I have worked as a writer, researcher, and editor across technology, finance, policy, operations, HR, healthcare, and regulated business environments. Clients and readers include C-suite executives, policymakers, engineers, academics, legal and compliance teams, and subject matter experts who need clear, credible content from complex material. With degrees in Journalism (BA), Behavioral Psychology (MS), and Law (JD), I bring a disciplined approach to research, structure, language, and evidence. My work is strongest when the subject is complex, the reader expects substance, and the final product needs analysis, judgment, and a compelling argument. I am comfortable working under tight turnaround, as long as we agree on scope and deadline. Projects maybe structured hourly or on a fixed-fee basis, depending on research depth, review cycle, and level of polish required. AI tools may support organization, synthesis, and workflow speed, but the judgment, source review, structure, voice, and final writing remain mine. ~Professional Highlights~ B2B Content Writing and Thought Leadership • Long-form articles, white papers, reports, guides, website copy, executive summaries, and thought leadership for business, technology, finance, healthcare, AI, SaaS, and policy audiences • Published work for The Financial Brand, Electronics360, Aura, and executive-facing business outlets • Business book support and senior-level content focused on growth, strategy, workforce intelligence, revenue systems, and operational performance Research, Analysis, and Market Intelligence • Market research, competitor analysis, workforce trends, regulatory developments, benchmarking, and source synthesis • Qualitative and quantitative research across technology, finance, policy, HR, healthcare, SaaS, and enterprise operations • Clear analysis built from raw notes, expert interviews, technical materials, datasets, reports, and incomplete drafts Technical, Legal, and Compliance Writing • Legal content, compliance materials, policy papers, internal guidance, and formal business writing • RFPs, SOWs, SLAs, technical manuals, user guides, implementation materials, and customer-facing documentation • Contract-adjacent, regulatory, and technical documentation shaped by governance, risk, auditability, and operational constraints Editing, Proofreading, and Content Quality • Developmental editing, substantive editing, line editing, copy editing, proofreading, and final polish • Editing for logic, structure, rhythm, tone, clarity, precision, and reader usefulness • Fact-checking, citation review, source validation, terminology control, style-guide alignment, and publication-ready cleanup

As a long-time professional writer I’ve written everything from 50 word product descriptions to 50,000 word eBooks on topics ranging from Ayahuasca to Zendoodle. I have spent the better part of 15 years honing my craft and I would love to put the skills I’ve developed to use for you. Prior to committing to life as a freelancer, I majored in journalism in college, a career path which led to a position as a managing editor of a community newspaper in Arizona. While I ultimately decided the life of a reporter wasn’t for me, the time I spent as a journalist taught me the importance of deadlines and how to plan out a writing project to avoid having to rush to meet them. If chosen for this opportunity you can expect my work to always come in at print quality and ahead of schedule. My time with the paper also taught me how to research new topics quickly and effectively and how to break down abstract or complicated ideas into concepts anyone can understand. As you will see from my samples, I have spent the last few years primarily ghostwriting eBooks while vetting clients and projects on my own. I’m looking to take on some new clients, however, and I feel I could bring a strong commitment to quality and professionalism to your project if given the opportunity. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have questions about my experience.
