    Since graduating from the University of Mount Union with a degree in public relations, I have further developed my skills in creating, writing, and promoting content on an array of subjects. I started in the industry working full-time at PR Newswire as a senior editor of press releases. Through this position, I could successfully zero in on my attention to detail and my editorial, grammatical, and SEO skills. In addition, I wrote for the online music publication Beyond The Stage Magazine. I served as a senior contributing writer for over three years and had the opportunity to write on many topics - anything from artist feature pieces to album reviews. I then became the magazine's Managing Editor, managing written content for the bi-monthly issues. I've also served as an SEO Content Specialist at the digital marketing agency Silverback Strategies, where I edited blogs to be more SEO-friendly. I utilized keywords and editorial SEO skills to enhance our client's work. Currently, I am a Senior Editor at Amazon. I rework tech-focused content to make it easy to understand, helpful, and encouraging to the sellers on the platform. I thoroughly enjoy writing, and I am always looking to expand my knowledge by learning and writing about any new topics that may come my way. Feel free to take a look through my portfolio and see just what I am capable of. If you have questions about a specific project, feel free to shoot me a message! Thank you for your consideration.

    I am a highly trained executive assistant with 7+ years experience working with for C-Suite level executives in various industries including law, sales, tech, and consulting. My skills are highly transferable between industries and provide invaluable support to any individual or team. My goal in this role is always to do whatever I can to make an Executive's life easier, more streamlined, more productive, and give them back the free time they often need. This looks different in each of my positions, as each person and company require unique and tailored support, but has included work such as: full email management, calendar management, running errands, drafting documents, data analysis, managing communications both with clients and staff, technological troubleshooting, social media management, financial management, among many others. I have also worked extensively in a project management role for various sales and consulting companies. This role, while similar to my work as an executive assistant, centers more strongly around operational support including managing timelines, project management systems, client interactions, research, drafting documents, and more. I have experience in a virtual environment and know the diligence and hard work that it takes to build relationships and maintain good communication in such environments.

    With extensive experience in editing and authorship, specializing in the social purpose sector, I bring a unique blend of skills and enthusiasm to the meticulous craft of the written word. I offer the following services, all with a thorough command of the English language: 🔎 Copyediting and proofreading • For clarity and accuracy • For grammar and mechanics • For concision • For flow • To strengthen language (while preserving your voice!) 🖋️ Writing • Grant • Article • Blog • Web content • Social media content I am well-versed in established style guides, including MLA, APA, The Chicago Manual, and Associated Press. I am here to accomplish your goals—establishing these expectations is the first step. Not sure what those are? I can help! We will determine what you want people to do, think, or feel after reading your content. Have questions? I’m always happy to chat, whether on the phone or video, before embarking on a project. Let’s sit down and take the time you need! My experience: I hold a Bachelor’s in Communications from Marymount University, where I graduated top of my degree program with a 3.97 GPA. I have since gained years of experience producing high-quality content in the social purpose sector. As the Manager of Communication & Partnerships at Ashoka Canada, I honed my skills in editing and producing diverse communications that resonate globally. In addition to crafting, copyediting, and proofreading our proposals to funders, I led the development of compelling narratives for our website, social media, and newsletter, ensuring that every piece met high editorial standards for dynamism and engagement, as well as clarity and accuracy. Previously, as Ashoka’s Global Digital Content Coordinator, I led comprehensive communication strategies, collaborating with international teams to advance complex ideas clearly and engagingly. I also created editorial guidelines to align country offices across platforms and gained a deep understanding of the editorial process as an editor for the annual Leading Social Entrepreneurs book. My experiences as a communications strategist and an editor at Ashoka have refined my ability to enhance communications through meticulous assessment, optimizing content with an eye for detail. Fun fact: I am also a playwright! Since reading Nidia Diaz’s prison diary from El Salvador, I have authored plays to inspire empathy and advance social justice. Supported by Oxford University, I wrote my first play in 2015, MADRES DE LA REVOLUCIÓN. This two-act undertaking of the Salvadoran Civil War has since received the support of theatres, organizations, and government entities alike, including the Salvadoran Embassy to the United States. I have since authored my second play, LA CASA MADRE, and have begun my third. The two completed works have gone on to receive honors in the new play development scene. My experiences as an “artivist” playwright have profoundly shaped my appreciation for the power of storytelling and instilled in me a commitment to amplifying diverse voices. Let’s connect! I am eager to bring my editing expertise and my passion for the written word and collaboration to your impactful projects. Let’s enhance your vision to its most inspiring potential!
