I am a speculative fiction author, developmental editor, and researcher. My work spans technical communication, ghostwriting, developmental editing, strategic foresight, historical research, science communication, and long-form storytelling in non-fiction and fiction.
One of my greatest strengths is the ability to move between technical, analytical, and creative projects while maintaining the same commitment to clarity, accuracy, and audience engagement. Whether I am helping an organization communicate a technical concept or helping an author strengthen a manuscript, my focus remains the same: understanding the core idea, identifying what matters most to the audience, and creating content that delivers results.
A recent highlight of my professional experience was serving as a contractor through Ensemble Consultancy for NASA Convergence Aeronautics Solutions (CAS). As part of a multidisciplinary team of futurists, scientists, and researchers, I contributed to strategic foresight projects exploring emerging technologies, social trends, and the future of air and space mobility. My work involved synthesizing large volumes of research, identifying meaningful patterns, and translating complex information into reports, technical memoranda, future scenarios, and narrative-driven strategic insights. I served as both a co-author on technical publications and the lead author of a speculative fiction anthology developed from our collective research.
Alongside my consulting and research work, I have spent years working as a ghostwriter and developmental editor. I have supported clients across fiction and nonfiction projects, including novels, memoirs, educational materials, historical content, and thought leadership pieces. As a developmental editor, I help writers strengthen structure, pacing, characterization, world building, and overall narrative effectiveness while preserving each author's unique voice and vision. I work across all genres and enjoy a variety of stories.
I also have experience in recipe development, historical food research, and culinary writing, and can assist with cookbook organization, recipe refinement, and instructional content development.
I hold a Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing, a Bachelor of Arts in History, and a Graduate Certificate in Professional Writing. I have also completed professional education in the New Space Economy through MIT.
I bring a collaborative, thoughtful, and results-oriented approach to every project. I'm friendly and always aim to bring constructive feedback and positivity to a client's project. Clients come to me when they need someone who can conduct in-depth research, think critically, write clearly, and tell a compelling story. Whether you're developing a book, refining a manuscript, producing a research report, exploring future scenarios, or communicating a complex idea to a broader audience, I strive to build long-lasting working relationships.

I'm a versatile freelancer with real experience across writing, research, and investigative work, and I bring the same standard to all of it: careful, well documented, and delivered on time.
On the writing side, I have a background in film production at Sony Pictures Entertainment, which shaped how I think about structure, pacing, and holding a reader's attention. I've written product descriptions, buying guides, articles, scripts, and website content across a range of industries, always researched and matched to the client's voice.
Outside of writing, I've worked as a fraud analyst at Santander Bank and a consumer credit examiner for the State of Maine, roles built entirely around verifying facts, tracing claims to primary sources, and producing findings that hold up to review. I've also run ecommerce operations on Etsy and Amazon, coordinated mortgage closings and title settlements, and worked hands on in data center operations. That background makes me a strong fit for research, verification, contact outreach, and investigative or compliance style projects, not just writing.
What I offer:
SEO focused articles and blog posts
Website copy and landing page content
Product descriptions and buying guides
Scripts for video, podcast, and short film
Research, fact verification, and contact outreach
Fraud, compliance, and investigative research support
I'm detail oriented, communicate clearly, and take feedback seriously whether the deliverable is a finished draft or a verified dataset. Let's talk about what your project needs.

You are a busy professional. Maybe an entrepreneur. Definitely an expert at your chosen craft. The problem is, you’re having trouble putting your passion – your expertise – into words.
You’re not alone.
Like most successful business owners, you know exactly what your product or service can do for your customers. You’re confident that you can meet their needs and address their pain points. You know precisely why your brand is so much better than the competition.
But how can you convey that message in a way that is not only easy to understand, but will effectively compel your target audience to take action?
That’s where I come in.
I have been writing professionally for over 16 years, taking the ideas, concepts and thoughts of my clients and turning them into compelling, engaging copy. I specialize in the ability to capture the unique voice of each client and understand not only who they are trying to reach, but how copy should be written so that it speaks to that audience in a way that is clear and powerful.
Over the years, I have written for just about every industry and genre imaginable, from veterinary clinics to divorce attorneys to IT automation, telecom and more. But while the subject matter of each of these fields may be markedly different, all of my clients have one thing in common.
They need copy that will get results.
Whether it’s generating more web traffic through strategic SEO, driving more sales, growing an email list or social media following or something else.
I’ve done it successfully for countless clients before and I can do the same for you.
Some examples of the type of copywriting services I provide include:
• Website Content / Landing Pages
• Blog Articles
• Email Messages / Autoresponders / Drip Emails
• Sales Letters
• Product Descriptions
• Newsletters
• Video Scripts
• White Papers
• Case Studies
• Press Releases
