Senior content writer with 15+ years of experience producing high-quality, human-crafted SEO- and GEO-optimized content for businesses ranging from global brands to specialized publications. Author of 6M+ words of professional copy across industries, including finance, technology, legal, healthcare, and gaming. Published in Forbes, Visa, and 30+ international outlets. Proven ability to consistently achieve first-page Google rankings for published content. Brings a rare combination of linguistic expertise, editorial precision, and authentic voice to every project. Now more than ever, businesses are leveraging AI to create writing (and edit that writing). However, what sets authentic content apart is its unique ability to provide real, human insights and critical contextual commentary that a machine will never be able to replicate. This is why I build partnerships with companies and individuals to develop their online content to connect authentically with their target audiences. This content ranks better in search engines and captures a wider customer base that sees your business as a provider of value and honesty, not a faceless robot. Currently seeking long-term projects in particular, but as always, I'm glad to help with a variety of tasks! Offering discounted rates for board games and video games, including Kickstarter! My academic credentials include two BAs magna cum laude (one in Linguistics and one in Japanese) and an MSc in Forensic Linguistics, magna cum laude. Publications of my work include within the Minnesota Society for Poetry; the Conference for Culture, Language, and Social Practice; Notes and Queries; and WritersWeekly, the world's largest freelance ezine.

I have 11+ years of experience with the Chinese language, including an undergraduate degree in its study and time spent living abroad in Harbin, China. I stay up to date watching current Chinese television programs and reading news to maintain my proficiency level and knowledge of any language usage trends/changes. As a native English speaker and avid reader, the translations I provide will have the grammar, flow, and structure of a piece originally written in the English language. I am capable of - and interested in - working on either creative writing or technical writing projects, and have a wide range of experience in everything from product manuals to novels, contracts to comic books, and more. I have a second degree in mechanical engineering and actively work to increase my technical proficiency in Chinese; I am also familiar with the German language after many years of study, and have worked as an engineer in the automotive industry. I currently work as a firefighter/EMT in my hometown. I've been translating professionally for more than 6 years, and I absolutely love it. I can't wait to meet you and provide a one-of-a-kind service for your Chinese to English translation needs! -Brad
