When I was about seven years old, I penned my first poem. It was about butterflies. I’ll spare you the actual poem — it didn’t make any sense and was four very childlike lines long — but it spurred a lifelong obsession with the written word, both mine and others.

 

I’ve been a writer all my life. For about two decades, I’ve been a professional (aka paid) freelance writer, producing content for a variety of newspapers and magazines, but even before that, I was involved in various bookish pursuits — college libraries, mall bookstores, publishing companies, you name the writing industry and I’ve spent time working there. And while I’ve done all this, I’ve helped friends with every kind of writing task under the sun, from teacher-of-the-year and immigration letters to family obituaries, business newsletters and college essays.

 

One of my favorite things about being a journalist was hearing the stories behind the story — the origins of the idea, the reasons for the painting, the goal of the project — and then helping to share that with an audience. I liked it so much that now I want to do it directly for people who are bringing amazing projects to life, all while strategizing the next best steps for their brand.

 

I’m excited to use my experience to help entrepreneurs, small business owners, artists, musicians and political candidates share their stories in a way that captivates readers and amplifies their message.
 

And I can’t wait to hear from you!
