I am an experienced journalist of over 15 years who can produce high-quality content and take the average copy and transition it into professional copy. I can also assist you with copy editing and proofreading needs so your copy is stellar and error-free. I specialize in sports, working the last 5 years primarily as a sports copy editor and writer. In my career, I have achieved the following: - I received a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Journalism from the University of South Florida. - I worked for 10 years as a copy editor, agate researcher, and in layout design at one of the top newspapers in the country, working in the sports department. - I taught Journalism, English, U.S. History, and Creative Writing for nine years and developed an award-winning Yearbook and Newspaper program after starting it from scratch. - I helped develop award-winning high school writers and journalists at the state level. - I won Journalism Teacher of the Year in 2016. - I type at a 102 WPM rate with 98% accuracy. - I have completed projects and received excellent feedback on Upwork in the areas of review writing, copy editing/proofreading, web content, press releases, and sports opinion columns.

I will make sure the writing sounds professional and communicates to the audience what you are looking for. - I can look over and proofread any copy you need, and can also recommend or make the proper adjustments to improve the overall quality of writing so it tailors to your needs and your audience's needs. - I have experience in marketing and can assist you with copywriting and advertising. - With my teaching background, I can design and prepare tests, quizzes, and worksheets in the areas of English, Creative Writing, and History, all which I have a Professional Teaching License in. - I can blog content for you so that what you are trying to get across can get across in a professional and sophisticated manner. To summarize: If you are looking for someone who is a strong writer and can help you with your copy needs, let's talk. If you are looking for someone who is passionate about what they do and will never miss a deadline, I'm an email away. If you are looking for someone to have a good relationship with and who will cater to your needs and do whatever it takes to produce what you are asking for, look no further. Overall, I am determined to succeed and do something I love, and writing and editing are my passion. I have a history of being a tireless and hard worker who will do whatever is necessary to produce a desired product. I believe the client-employee relationship is important, and I will meet the client's needs. I have never missed a deadline in over 15 years. On the fun side of things, I love sports, particularly golf, and have actually tried to become a professional golfer on the side. However, hitting a golf ball 12 hours a day started to wear thin. I am a big Notre Dame football fan and a huge Tampa Bay Lightning hockey fan. Go Bolts! I am fluent in English and Seinfeld, and am a movie nerd. I know the movie Braveheart by heart.

I have over 20 years' experience as a journalist, editor, copy editor, copywriter and proofreader. My specializations include medical/health editing, technology and aviation. I also have considerable experience with editing English as a second language (ESL) and back link SEO campaigns. I work behind the scenes in WordPress every day uploading copy as well as prepping pages for CTAs, SEO, TAGS, excerpts, heads and other modalities. Besides WordPress, I'm familiar with CoSchedule, Asana, Google Docs, Yoast SEO, Word's Track Changes, Insightly, BuzzSumo, SeaMonkey, Filezilla, HTML coding, GoToMeeting, AP style, Adobe's proofreading tools and various photo editing applications. I am also proficient with the use of AI tools like ChatGPT, but I understand their limitations and the need to humanize copy for SEO purposes and overall readability. Spanish is my second language.

➡️My App Store Optimization earned the #1 ranking on the App Store Games - Trivia category in under 1 month for DAFUQ, a previously unranked app. I’ve worked with 150+ apps of all sizes, from startups to global brands like Hard Rock and MGM, achieving impressive results. My experience includes working on more than 15 top-100 apps, with notable examples like BetMGM Sportsbook (#4), Stadium Live (#9), Hard Rock Neverland Casino (#43), Timeleft (#55), Vivino (#38), Qmee (#20), Stronger (#37), DMV Genie (#88) Novel Effect (#47), Minutes (#57), Sole Supplier (#88), DMV Genie (#88), Sole Supplier (#90), and more. [ DATA-DRIVEN APPROACH ] These results come from a transparent, data-driven approach that focuses on improving keyword rankings on both Google Play and the App Store, improving organic downloads, conversion rates, retention rates, app ratings, and ultimately work to grow in-app purchase and subscription revenue. [ INDEPENDENT FREELANCER – I DO ALL THE WORK MYSELF ] Let's set up a free, 30‑minute video screenshare call 📞 to discuss how I can help your app achieve long‑term organic growth. Just send me a message, and I’ll share my calendar 📅 via Upwork. [ QUANTIFIABLE SUCCESS STORIES ] • Increased 21Moves’ monthly subscription revenue from $500 to $10,000 in just 3 months. • Boosted Qmee’s organic downloads from 13,000 to over 70,000 per month in 2 years. • Launched an ASO strategy that generated over $100,000 in monthly revenue. • Scaled apps to earn more than $300,000 per month. [ MOBILE APP MARKETING SPECIALITIES ] • ASO Metadata Optimization • Keyword Research • Cross-Localization (Japanese, Korean, French, etc.) • 7-Figure Apple Search Ads (ASA) Ad Campaigns • App Store Screenshots • App Preview Videos • Custom Product Pages (CPP) • Product Page Optimization A/B Testing • Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO) • App Ratings & Reviews Growth • In-App Events • Push Notifications & In-App Messaging Drip Campaigns • App Onboarding User Flow • User Retention Strategies • In-App Purchases & Subscriptions • App Development Feature Roadmaps [ NO PREDATORY TACTICS ] I can't stand agencies that fail to deliver on their promises. Too many make excuses like shifting market conditions, algorithm updates, low budgets, or increased competitor spending, rather than taking responsibility and adapting their strategy. Their focus is often on extracting as much money as possible before clients realize the strategy isn’t working. I don’t operate that way. My approach is transparent, data-driven, and built around real results, not empty promises. [ YES TO DATA ] I don't pretend to have superhuman intuition. I know how to find, understand, and apply ASO data to create and improve your app store product page. How to measure the impact of the ASO efforts is just as significant, so we're confident in the effects of the ASO efforts. No, "it sounded good" is not a sufficient explanation. Whether you’re an indie developer or a large studio, my ASO strategies can help you reach more users, improve conversion rates, and build long-term organic growth. Let’s talk about how I can help your app achieve its full potential.
