Words matter - spoken and written alike. So whether I’m building a strategy deck, editing website copy, or running a team meeting, I choose mine carefully. With 15+ years' experience in digital content production and online marketing, my areas of expertise span journalism, team building, optimization, building partnerships and growth strategies. I am a motivator, an educator and a leader. A storyteller and a problem solver. A writer, editor and blogger. Not necessarily in that order.
