I have years of experience as a technical marketer, developer evangelist, and content creator, presenting complicated ideas in a clear and compelling way. But first and foremost, I tell stories. Stories are the best (and sometimes only) way to connect with our customers. If I can't tell a story that convinces someone that our product will make their lives better, they're not going to buy it. My video resume (youtu.be/MpUAr-hDlk4) is a quick overview of the depth and breadth of my work. With a Master's in Computer Science and a Bachelor's in English, I have a unique ability to start with difficult technical concepts and end with straightforward explanations that tell our audience how something works and why it deserves to exist. And put those explanations into a story with the right amount of creativity and humor.

I spend quite a bit of time thinking about death. Learning to accept it, make sense of it. Everything I do points back to it. I am passionate about supporting people to create their legacy through storytelling and accurately capturing the moments in people's lives where they felt most alive. It feels like one of the best ways for me to explore this theme and be in service to others using the skills I have. WHO AM I? I am a storyteller and I am a creative writer, who has built a robust career of 10+ years of freelance experience. My experience spans across dance and performance as well as blogging, copywriting, proofreading, editing, transcription and summarizing. I share my own stories. I help people capture their stories. Throughout my career I have developed and mastered communication and writing skills that supported me to work with clients and companies, from freelance artists, to self-employed coaches, to start-up companies and universities. WHY AM I HERE? I am on Upwork to use this platform to build relationships and gain experience on my path towards becoming a ghostwriter. I am here to do jobs that help me to develop relationships and rapport so people trust me to tell their story effectively, crafting it into a readable, tangible product that is a reflection of lived experiences. I am looking to use my skills in copywriting, blogging, transcription, proofreading, editing and summarizing to contribute to jobs that also help me to gain experience to further me on my path. HIGHLIGHTS OF MY 10+ YEARS FREELANCING INCLUDES: ---- transcribing and editing podcast transcriptions, transcribing audio interviews and audio group coaching sessions and workshops - transcription and summary into either story, bullet points or question and answer ---- blogging for myself and others for the past 11 years, developing skills in storytelling and creative writing Example: blogging for the University of Limerick's international Education Department ---- freelancing as a proofreader/editor/formatter for student theses as well as business newsletters Example: for the University of Limerick, I was the go to person whom the Postgraduate Students Union President would direct students to for their MA thesis proofread ---- social media content creation and marketing copywriting for arts organizations including SLMDances and SpinKick Pictures ---- Copywriting for artist website portfolios as well as accompanying social media and newsletter creation WHAT MAKES THE WORK I DO STAND OUT? The deep reverence I have for the written word. I have an acute sense of the power of words whilst at the same time acknowledging the limitation that words have. Every word that is chosen has to be the best fitting word for that moment, it’s about way more than the words, it’s about what they create. This is where my performance experience comes in. As a choreographer I have a vision, it is very detail oriented and very specific while still keeping the bigger picture in mind. I bring that same lens to my writing as an exceptionally detail oriented and meticulous proofreader, editor and copywriter. I am an exceptional, deep, full-body listener. When you are trying to tell somebody’s story, you really have to be able to listen to what they are saying, not what you want them to say, not what you think about their story. I’ve learned how to deeply listen, even to non-verbal communication, cues inside my body, emotions, things that also add to the story of a moment that are beyond words. I do this in a non-judgemental, empathetic way. Whether I am the one writing the story, transcribing the story or summarizing the story, I listen deeply to execute my task with care, integrity and excellence. A DREAM CLIENT WOULD BE: I am here to connect with people who are looking to write a memoir as a part of their personal legacy. My deep desire is to be of service through capturing and writing personal stories that can be handed down, expressed for people who want to share their legacy and life story. I AM AVAILABLE FOR JOBS PROVIDING THE FOLLOWING: --------- Transcription - audio or video - podcasts, interviews, social media, zoom etc. --------- Summarizing - audio or video - podcasts, interviews, social media, zoom etc. --------- Proofreading, editing --------- Copywriting for blogs, newsletters or websites --------- Creative writing and storytelling, especially for legacy projects or memoirs So what do you think, are we a fit? If so, I invite you to reach out. I am excited to support you with your creative writing needs.
