I started my career as music journalist in New York City prior to moving to Nashville, TN where I continued to write and play music professionally. After a few years I switched gears due to my love of animals and biology and started the path towards veterinary college. Good writing is an important skill no matter what sort of work you do and I am happy to help others through proof-reading, promotion, education and developing content that is engaging and grammatically correct.

I help financial companies and professionals turn complex ideas into clear, authoritative content that actually gets read. Over the past several years, I’ve written more than 3,000 articles across credit, lending, investing, and personal finance, including work published on platforms like CardRates and BadCredit. Much of my current work is ghostwriting — helping brands, founders, and teams communicate expertise without losing clarity or sounding generic. Before writing full-time, I spent a decade as Director of Business Analysis at Citadel Investment Group. That experience gives me a strong understanding of how financial products and systems work behind the scenes — and how to explain them in a way that makes sense to real users. Most clients come to me when they need more than just content. They need writing that can: Build authority in a specific financial niche Explain products clearly without oversimplifying Support user decisions around credit, lending, or investing Fit naturally into a brand voice or product experience I’m comfortable working across formats, from long-form articles and guides to in-product content, explainers, and thought leadership. Because much of my work is ghostwritten, I adapt quickly to tone and audience while keeping the underlying content accurate and usable. If you’re looking for someone who understands both the mechanics of finance and how people actually read about it, I’d be glad to help. Happy to share samples or discuss a specific project.
