Professional Work

For my first career, I worked as a writing and English instructor, teaching everything from essay writing to medieval literature and Shakespeare. I also spent twenty years focused on copywriting and editorial writing for a variety of clients and industries, ranging from outdoor recreation to the coffee industry, real estate to fashion. Check out samples of my work and a client list below.

Copywriting

My projects have run the gamut: ecommerce and email campaigns, print catalogs and packaging copy, messaging strategies and mission statements, scriptwriting and social media content, branding, ads, press releases, and more.
