Effective business communications need to be descriptive yet concise, engaging without sacrificing accuracy. They must achieve a delicate balance between the needs, interests, and expectations of their internal and external audiences.As an experienced writer and editor, my goal is to achieve that balance in every document. I support the development of successful proposals and marketing materials by identifying essential information, crafting informative and persuasive language, and promoting a positive impression with the reader. I love a page limit, not because I have to write less but because it challenges me to think more critically and demand more out of every sentence. In addition to writing and editing, I also teach Pilates. The two careers are surprisingly compatible. A great Pilates teacher needs to use the fewest number of words to communicate exactly what their audience needs to know, and precisely when they need to know it. An engaging, clear, and convincing voice is essential. I am also responsible for building strong working relationships with my clients and coworkers. And as an added benefit, improved core strength and postural awareness help me when I’m spending long hours in front of a computer screen!
