Worked with managers, web designers, and art departments for national companies such as Avon on every facet of communication (including crafting email campaigns, revamping web pages, and updating existing copy) to create improved customer/consumer engagement situations resulting in proven increased click-throughs and web traffic.

Wrote feature-length articles and interviews, as well as daily content for a variety of online and print media outlets and companies, including Adweek, New York Family Magazine, MommyPoppins, Cambria Style, Bank of America Small Business, and others. Primary content focused on areas of family, parenting, money, fashion, culture, entertainment, and lifestyle. Other long-term published work includes curriculum research and content for non-profit organizations as well as written content and web site design for various small businesses and creative projects.

As Staff Writer for The Stir, wrote lively and (hopefully somewhat) witty blog posts daily in Sports, Entertainment, Love & Sex, Pregnancy, Baby, Toddler, and Home & Garden channels. Transitioned to freelance as a Contributing Blogger for the site, providing daily content for sponsored family and lifestyle hubs, focusing on every aspect of motherhood (family finances, fashion, home decor, organization, work/life balance), how to raise healthy, confident kids and stay (a little) sane. Also crafted copy for site's slideshows and polls on as-needed basis for the website and their sponsors.

Responsible for the production of high-profile reports with same-day or next-day turnaround, editing for grammar, clarity, accuracy, as well as company-specific style. Worked with senior management in developing new workflow processes and style guides. Provided new editors supplemental training and guidance.

Edited and formatted print and web publications (many with more than 50 pages) within a one-week deadline, adhering to strict style guidelines. Formatted text, tables, and charts in a variety formats and computer systems. Worked with analysts to streamline procedures for new report types.

Like millions with a dream, came to The Big Apple to act. Performed in off-off (can we add another off?) Broadway plays and independent films. Attempted to make people laugh as a stand-up comic for a brief moment. Paid the bills by selling perfume at Saks Fifth Avenue, serving up burritos and 23 other jobs, but primarily worked as a freelance proofreader. Finally realized my real dream was to be a writer. Joined Corporate America for a steady gig as I worked on honing my craft.
