Theater geek with a Psychology B.A. from Rowan University. Avid reader and pro-proofreader. Very flexible and works well under time crunches. I also took a proofreading course to cover all my p's and q's! Once a Barnes & Noble bookseller/Lead Barista (yes, I miss my discount!), and now hoping to travel!

You have better things to do than to worry about whether your latest blog or email is perfectly written, with all the grammar, structure, and agreement working in perfect harmony. What you want when you click “publish” or “send” is to feel confident that your copy will make the right connection with your reader -- every time. I’ll make sure that it does. With 15+ years of professional experience working for corporations such as MasterCard, Bank of America, Prudential, and the Isle of Capri Casinos (as well as various small businesses), I have the necessary expertise to tell your unique story. And to tell it in a way that is clear, concise, and engaging to your target audience. My other work background and my real-life experiences provide additional insight into topics such as travel, expat life, natural, whole foods cooking and recipe development, healthy living, and fitness. Ultimately, my goal is to give you compelling writing, editing, and proofreading that always retains your voice and vision. This lets you relax and focus your time and attention on other aspects of your business. COPYWRITING If you want well-crafted, highly targeted, conversational copy for your website, blogs, emails, articles, newsletters, and more, you can count on me to deliver. I'm also well-adept at using your voice for consistency across all of your communications. Your copy will be easy on the eye, designed for modern readers who tend to “skim” copy. That means, for example, using clear, attention-grabbing headlines and shorter paragraphs with plenty of white space. This is especially important for keeping your audience engaged with web content. Since effective copywriting is a collaborative effort, I welcome your input throughout the process of copy development. I want the final draft to always reflect your style or brand. I’ll deliver my work via Microsoft Word “track changes” or Google Docs, using “suggest” mode. If you prefer another method, just let me know. In any case, you can always review my suggestions and choose whether or not to accept them. EDITING My clients count on me to expertly edit their original content, including: * Fixing developmental structure for better word flow * Correcting grammatical mistakes * Improving language tone * Proper copy formatting * Fact-checking Sometimes it’s hard to see the “fluff” that so easily creeps into writing. I’ll weed out any unnecessary words or phrases to provide clarity and improve readability. In my work with both corporate clients and small businesses, this step has consistently made all the difference between ho-hum copy and copy that makes an impact on the reader. PROOFREADING My attention to detail and my love of the written word means that your document will be free of any errors before your project heads to the printer or gets published online. This final quality check covers things like catching typos and missing punctuation, fine-tuning grammatical and syntax errors, and removing inconsistencies. I’m familiar with various style guides, particularly the AP style guide. If you have your own in-house standard, I’m happy to use that as well. MY COMMITMENT TO YOU Because I’ve also worked as both an agency project manager and supervisor, I know how crucial good communication is to the ongoing success of your job and your business as a whole. When you work with me, know that I’ll always keep you updated on the status of your project so that we’re both working from the same script. Plus, you can expect consistent, targeted work -- on time, on budget, and to your satisfaction. Please take a look at my portfolio and then invite me to your job. Or connect with me so we can discuss your goals and what I can help you accomplish. I’ll be glad to answer any questions you have, and we can talk about your project in detail.
