I create powerful, user-centered copy for all purposes. Combining 15+ years' experience in the classroom and over nine years as a writer, I bring a teacher's knack for storytelling to my work, as well as a burning zeal for good design and content strategy. I also play the guitar and make a mean babaghanoush.I am a writing mercenary. I love to write both long-form and short-form content. I am a generalist with deep skills in the key areas of UX writing, curriculum development, and user testing.I am a learning machine. If I don't know how to do it, I'll learn how to do it, quickly and well. Check out the breadth and depth of my learning in the Education and Certs sections. I'm currently doing a cert program in Technical Writing, teaching myself screenplay-writing, and blazing my way through DuoLingo Turkish.I have a special love for writing at the intersection of religions and travel. I am currently developing FaithTripper, a social media project in which I'll visit churches, temples, mosques, and all other kinds of holy places, take pictures, and gather stories from the people I meet along the way.
