Writing and Editing

Writing has been my lifelong calling, and my passion for clear, accessible language has grown stronger during my 20+ years of experience as an award-winning journalist, freelance writer, and communications consultant.

I’ve also spent many years looking closely at my own and others’ content with an editorial eye, and believe strongly that accuracy in language and grammar build trust and convey professionalism.
