Second, this job overlaps with my current position as I've been independent since 2010. Around 2016, I moved away from editorial/magazine writing--hence, the "new" description above. But this remains accurate. So pour yourself a cup of coffee, settle in, and here you go....The short story: I'm a highly organized and adept editorial writer, content marketer and communications strategist with an aversion to jargon and a knack for storytelling with a purpose. I gravitate toward mission-driven organizations, and thrive on uncovering the most effective ways to connect with their audiences. The long story: With over 10 years of experience in marketing communications (internal, B2B and B2C), editorial writing and strategy development, I shape raw ideas into well-crafted, compelling narratives. Whether the goal is to inform, entertain, increase traffic, drive sales, build community, or all of the above, I develop and write editorial stories, content strategies and communication plans that connect, engage and convert. I’m a self-motivated professional, with the highest respect for deadlines, details, budgets, AP Style, E.B. White, good humor and a killer headline. I privately come down on the side of the Oxford comma, thanks to working with several of the most respected and demanding editors in the outdoor market. My portfolio is diverse, having written for outdoor, adventure, trade and luxury media titles. In the brand communications and content marketing space, I work through agencies and directly with brands in the outdoor, apparel, consumer goods, and jewelry industries to create strategies, develop training programs and write content that delivers results. Out of respect and discretion for the work I've done through agencies, please message me directly for examples of my work. Show less

These experiences have shaped my life and who I am as a professional. I believe that teaching skiing at a high level has also made me better at my current job. I was based at Aspen Highlands, and I traveled the world with my clients. The crossover skills from teaching to running a business are wildly underestimated, including (but not… Show more I've been told by every "professional" to erase my love of skiing (and running and cycling and river-running) from my profile.
