    I am a tax-exempt attorney with over 20 years of experience in nonprofit law. I am uniquely qualified to guide you through the process of establishing your nonprofit organization and obtaining 501(c)(3) status. My background includes working in the IRS's Tax-Exempt Division where I reviewed applications for exemption and am now working in private practice where I have represented over 1,500 nonprofit organizations with a 100% approval. I have worked with thousands of tax-exempt organizations, including public charities, private foundations, family offices, Fortune 500 companies setting up tax-exempt organizations, and founders of Fortune 500 companies who have set up private foundations. I have never had an application for exemption denied, and none of my clients have ever been audited if I represented the organization from the organization’s formation. Moreover, I have been successful each time I represented a tax-exempt organization in an IRS audit.

    I am a paralegal with almost a decade of experience in criminal defense and personal injury. I am a graduate of the University of Colorado-Boulder with a Bachelor's Degree in Political Science. In the criminal defense arena, I specialize in appellate briefing. I will make sure that your briefs are edited, proofread, and tabled properly. It can be a huge time suck for attorneys to do the formatting of appellate briefs, so it makes sense to have someone with a lower billing rate do that instead:). I really enjoy turning out work product that you can be proud of. I love freelancing! It gives me the ability to choose the work that I like to do and am passionate about. I am methodical with detail. I am a wiz with Microsoft Office programs (although I do work on a Mac). Adobe Acrobat is my favorite program hands down. If you need anything done in the realm of PDF, send it to me. Redaction, exhibits, Bates numbering, discovery organization - you name it, I can do it. And quickly.

    I am an analytical, resourceful, creative, researcher and administrator. As a former administrator and certified paralegal with over fifteen years experience in the fine arts, humanities, law, and executive support, I am good at problem-solving and the coordination of complex logistical details. I am also a calm multitasker under pressure who actually enjoys deadlines! I enjoy working with people and am a strong collaborator; I am also independent and self-motivated, so work equally well going solo. As an academic I consider myself a professional researcher, writer and editor. In my role as a professional indexer I also proofread. When not working I enjoy traveling internationally and nationally, gardening, reading, and spending time walking my dog-a beautiful champion Doberman.

    I am a full time professional writer and editor. I have worked extensively in the fields of content marketing, on-page and off-page SEO and creative writing. My career as a professional writer began early in adulthood, after a childhood spent scribbling stories in notebooks, working on student newspapers and pretty much doing everything I could to get my work out there. I also have experience in sales and marketing, and I have been able to use this experience to improve lead generation and customer acquisition for many of my clients. I have written for magazines, publishing companies and marketing agencies. My work has been featured on some of the internet’s biggest sites (both in the US and across Europe) and my clients have included national and multinational companies, as well as spirited individuals looking to establish their own virtual footprint. I am always excited to work on new projects and with new clients. I consider myself to be very open, very ambitious and very friendly, but also professional and determined. I can work on any subject and write in any style. I can match academic and journalistic styles, while also writing in an open, informal style best suited for online content. My previous projects have included everything from nutrition and health sciences, where a lot of research and citations were needed, to writing about sports, haunted houses, cooking and even weaponry. I am available for writing, editing, proofreading and consulting work.
