If you're looking for a knowledgeable writer who can break complex topics into an easily-digestible read, I am the perfect fit. Even better, I understand how to appeal to target audiences: whether your audience consists of the general public, CEOs, or Judges. I'm a lawyer with experience in virtually every practice area (trusts/estates; contracts; family; immigration; real estate; employment law; business; intellectual property...). I had my own firm so I'm familiar with law office management, marketing (including social media, content marketing, blogging, SEO, e-newsletters, seminars...) human resources, workflows, and legal technology. I have also started a non-profit foundation, planned & pulled off lucrative fundraisers, lobbied legislatures (successfully), analyzed bills & policy, and I ran for office. Yes, I've dabbled in a little bit of everything! I have written everything from website copy to federal appellate briefs-with outstanding results. Chances are, if you need something written-I can provide you with work that will knock your socks off! Bonuses: I'm a native English speaker, with a law degree, and I work from home-so that means faster turn-around and less expense for you!

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 have been working in the legal field for over eight years, beginning as a paralegal in civil litigation firms. It was in this role that I grasped the fundamentals of civil procedure, communicating with clients and opposing counsel, and gained familiarity with all stages of litigation. My communicative talents were fostered in this environment and I uncovered an aptitude and excitement for the legal profession. I was encouraged to further my career and attend law school, which I completed in May 2020. Throughout law school I was exposed to various areas of the law such as Family Law, Criminal Law, Landlord Tenant and Commercial Law, through internships with judges and private firms.

I provide editing services from proofreading, copy editing, and line editing to developmental editing and indexing of academic, nonfiction, financial, tax, and legal projects. I also record for Radio Talking Books and record audiobooks for Audible and Librivox. Since 2020 I have edited more than a dozen nonfiction books, three book-length dissertations, more than 50 academic journal articles, numerous master’s theses and other shorter works, and several white papers. As a retired attorney, judge, and business school professor, I've applied my expertise to subjects ranging from an analysis of the UK's system of dual-class shares, to whether the legal definition of genocide should encompass political grounds, to the environmental aspects of fast fashion, and everything in between. I recently edited and indexed a book on the unique problems of employing those with criminal histories, which was published in 2024 by Springer Nature. I have also edited nearly a dozen travel and how-to books for CZYK Publishing, an independent publisher in the United States. I have extensive experience, and particular expertise, in working with clients for whom English is a second (or third) language. I edit in MS Word and return for each project a redline with my suggested edits and explanatory comments and, when appropriate, a clean copy ready for use. I have also edited in Google Docs and in Adobe. I have certificates in editing from the University of Washington and from the University of Chicago, a doctorate in accounting/business/economics from the University of Minnesota, and a law degree from the University of Michigan.

I was privileged to represent the town of Browning in a water rights dispute before the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. Likewise, I authored the amicus brief for the Montana Defense Trial Lawyers Association in the case of Meek v. Eighth Judicial District, which examined arbitrary health care pricing in the context of civil lawsuits. My diverse practice experience, along with my skills as a litigator and advocate, can be an asset for a variety of different clients. I also had the great privilege of serving as the Director of Elections at the Montana Secretary of State’s office. I successfully represented the office during the legislative session, assisted in the defense of a federal voting rights lawsuit before the U.S. Supreme Court, and was Montana’s chief elections official charged with administering the first congressional special election in nearly half a century. I also served at the Montana State Auditor’s office as a legal policy advisor. I worked to examine the pharmaceutical industry and create consumer-focused legislative solutions to combat rising prescription drug prices. At the same time, I managed a caseload of insurance and securities regulatory matters, and represented the Auditor’s office in a unit determination matter before the Board of Personnel Appeals. In January of 2021, I was appointed as the General Counsel, then Chief Deputy Attorney General, at the Montana Department of Justice. I supervised more than 50 attorneys and support staff working in areas of criminal prosecution and appeals, consumer protection, multi-state antitrust litigation, and general civil litigation. I provided legal advice and counsel to the Attorney General and the Department of Justice. Most recently, I took on the role of Chief Legal Counsel and Director of Government Affairs for the Montana Family Foundation. In this role, I am responsible for all litigation and legal services provided on behalf of the Foundation, which includes legal services to a variety of elected officials throughout the State of Montana. Further, I am responsible for developing and executing a successful government affairs program both during the regular and interim legislative sessions in Montana. With my broad experience and background, I am confident that I can provide quality legal analysis, service, and consultation for any client. I am licensed in Montana state and federal court, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, and the United States Supreme Court.

I am a professional copywriter, editor, and proofreader with experience across a wide range of publications. I earned my BA in English Language and Literature at University College London (UCL), where I researched and wrote a dissertation on Shakespeare and the Law, learned Old English, and even prepared my own translation of Beowulf from the original! I earned my J.D. at University of Michigan Law School in 2021, where I served for three years as a senior editor on the Michigan Journal of Law Reform. After graduating law school, I clerked for a federal district judge in Nevada, where I researched and wrote legal opinions, many of which are published in the Federal Register. Most recently, I have developed my portfolio as a freelancer on UpWork editing online articles, blog posts, cover letters and other application materials, journal articles, business documents, reports, upper-level scholarship, book manuscripts, and more. I have helped aspiring authors edit and improve their works for publication, guided prospective students through college and graduate admissions, proofread corporate documents, and reviewed marketing materials. My clients' final products have gone on to be published with independent and major outlets alike, including textbooks and major academic journals. Across my experiences, I picked up a variety of editorial methods (including all major citation styles) and am happy to adapt my writing to the needs of the author. In the last year, I have taken on several weekly clients in need of AI fact-checking and editing and assisted them in ensuring their AI-generated materials are polished to perfection. Furthermore, I myself have written multiple articles and blogs using ChatGPT4 and am interested in developing my skills in the field. I care deeply about linguistic precision and want to ensure you are producing clear, succinct, and accurate works of writing for whatever the goal. I am also fluent in Spanish and have performed translation work for Spanish language clients in the immigration law context! I would love to help you develop or finalize your next written work.
