I bring a thoughtful, exacting eye to crafting compelling stories that hook readers. As an editor and content creator, I collaborate with diverse stakeholders and subject matter experts to synthesize complex information and wipe away jargon, amplifying the essential narrative at the heart of the work. Tenacious, yet flexible, I play well with others and apply a professional, thorough, and nuanced approach to all communications, from case studies to blog posts to social media—and everything in between.A longtime contributor at Thriftbooks, I have written hundreds of blog posts celebrating all kinds of literature, movies, and music. Many of my posts garner significant engagement from readers, spurring lively discussion. Several posts have been picked up and shared by other sites. At Town Hall Seattle, I designed and published the promotional materials, both online and print, for upwards of 30 events per month. I redesigned and updated the format and look of our popular print calendar to be mailed to members and distributed widely throughout the Seattle area. My work was consistently praised by both supervisors and patrons.Several of the articles I wrote while working for ParentMap magazine have been republished annually and shared widely, including a piece about taking my daughter to college. I’ve been contacted by readers who said they were moved to tears by the story.
