One of the biggest mental hurdles to surmount as a writer by trade is the distinct possibility that everything they write will be read extra critically, from the reports they compose to their LinkedIn Summary. The only effective countermeasure I’ve found to this crippling obstacle is experience. Luckily, loads of experience is exactly what I have. I've literally been writing since I was a kid. Sure, my teachers were making me back then, but I've always loved storytelling and word craft and it’s been my calling for as long as I can remember. Now, I'm a passionate, professional writer and editor with a wide breadth of experience ranging from copywriting for small businesses to journalistic writing for media publications. I’ve written in a broad variety of styles and formats, and I’m extremely well versed in copywriting, creative writing, content editing, proofreading, social marketing, and web publication. I’m intimately familiar with many tools of the trade including Adobe CS, AP Stylebook, Chicago Manual of Style, Microsoft Office, most social platforms, and WordPress. I'm a grammar enthusiast who loves research, data analysis, learning, and deepening my skillsets. When I’m not working, I’m usually reading, gaming, enjoying a walk with my family, crafting a short story, or incrementally drafting my next novel.
