Creative writer and
pr consultant
As a lover of communication in all its forms, I use my two decades of experience in public relations, cultivated storytelling skills, and a keen aptitude for research to create strategic and emotionally driven messaging and material that moves brands forward. Collaborating with companies of all sizes, I help individuals, teams and entire organizations find their voice and amplify it.
great writing can change everything.
I love a good story, don’t you? Telling stories is one of my favorite things about this job and a vital part of creating material that resonates. For many of my clients, turning their complex thoughts into easily consumable content can be a daunting task and they often struggle to find the right words to describe their companies, their products, or themselves in ways that feel both accurate and accessible.
This is where I come in.
A veteran of the public relations industry, I believe in the art and power of communications. In my role as a writer and consultant, I serve as a bridge between the ideas stuck in your head and the kind of targeted content that elevates you above the competition.

Innovators are disrupting markets daily. In a crowded landscape where the title of thought leader can be assigned to anyone with an opinion and a platform, it’s important to stand out and create content and opportunities that lift you, your ideas, and your company above the fray. Maybe you’re an executive who has planned your journey to the top for years, or an engineer who has found yourself unexpectedly forced into the limelight. Wherever you find yourself, I can help.
Each thought leadership project is as different as the companies and executives attached to them, but can include:
- Industry and competitive research.
- Spokesperson platform development.
- Media training, press tours and speaking engagements.
- Ghostwriting and presentation development. -
A subject matter chameleon, my passion for deciphering complexity through writing is fueled by our quickly changing world. I’m skilled at extracting the most exciting morsels from discussions with industry leaders, team members, and customers and translating them into compelling stories that engage, educate, and motivate.
I collaborate closely with each client to ensure that we are telling the right story to the right people at the right time. That can include a range of written content, such as:
- Marketing: company vision, web copy, white papers, flyers, eBooks, newsletters, FAQs.
- Traditional PR: press releases, spokesperson bios, fact sheets, customer features, media pitches.
- Thought Leadership: blog posts, LinkedIn articles, contributed content, presentation copy.
- Social Media: written posts for LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. -
If you prefer to do your own writing, you probably love the thrill of expressing ideas in a compelling way. At the same time, serving as the final quality check on important content can be stressful.
Let me be your second pair of eyes to ensure your content is polished and ready to make its mark in an increasingly competitive marketplace. I provide proofreading and second pass editing for the above materials and much more.
Retainer and project pricing options are available.
