Since founding The Writing Guru® in 2010, I've worked with 1,500+ high-caliber executives, C-suite leaders, and board members to build their career and personal brands. I’ve written for dozens of major publications, and I’ve been hired directly by Fortune companies to write LinkedIn profiles and bios for their top executives.My career background, accolades, and published written work show my mastery in writing. Attorneys are trained to think in a very different way. That logic and the ability to grasp the best-selling point of a client – much like making a winning legal argument to a judge – transcends into stronger writing skills.I speak the language of executives and hold the highest credentials in the resume and careers industry. Unlike most resume writers, I do not outsource ANY work to a subcontractor or ghostwriter. I coach you, I write your documents, and I provide you clear strategies to power your brand in the digital age. I genuinely care about the work I provide and the success of my clients -- my testimonials prove that. Clients value the collaboration, insights, and partnership I create with them for the long-term.
