I am an experienced writer, editor, strategist, and information professional, and I keep clarity and usefulness at the center of all I do. With more than 20 years of communication-focused roles in marketing, publishing, education, e-commerce, and law, I have developed effective original content for startups, nonprofits, and established global businesses. I combine the perceptive nature of a poet (MFA, Sarah Lawrence College) with the organizational skills of a librarian (MLIS, San José State University) to create blogs, newsletters, internal communications strategies, video scripts, social media campaigns, trainings and reference materials, and other projects that engage audiences and enhance user experiences.I value diplomacy, empathy, and diversity at work and in life, and I seek collaboration with colleagues who share those values. People look to me when they need the right words, a detailed plan, and an attentive listener, and I am eager to join an innovative organization to help tell its story and discover new opportunities.
