Personally, I live to turn the vaguest wisp of an idea into a story that resonates with everyday people. My professional journey includes a Fortune 500 technology company, an innovative media startup, and an R1 research University in the top 3% of higher education institutions, where I\'ve worked closely with scientists, faculty, students, small businesses, and community leaders to turn their unique perspectives into powerful narratives.I also hold a master\'s degree in English, where I focused on professional writing and editing, rhetoric and persuasion, place-based writing, and ecocriticism. In my free time, I have written and published 200-plus articles now appearing in national and international publications, multiple blogs, and websites covering travel, culture, design, food, sustainability, and lifestyle storytelling.Specialties: Creating a flexible brand voice that speaks to multiple audiences effectively across institutional and editorial environments, managing diverse writing projects on multiple media under tight deadlines while maintaining brand consistency and authenticity, copywriting and editing using strict style guides, crafting approachable content for knowledge-based industries, travel and lifestyle writing, long- and short-form content, managing and mentoring young writers and collaborating with creative teams and stakeholders.
