About Me
After amassing 20+ years of managerial experience in fields such as digital print, database marketing, and loss/fraud prevention, I am blazing a new trail in my career to pursue my lifelong passion for writing.
I graduated 2023 from Southern New Hampshire University (Summa Cum Laude honors) with a bachelor's degree in communications, concentrating on professional writing.
Talk about a white-knuckle ride.
So, I decided in my early forties to change careers. No, I wasn't in crisis mode. I didn't dye my (remaining) hair, nor did I rush out to get a tattoo or a convertible. I loved the experience I had in my previous roles, like loss prevention, where I learned how to be an auditor, a trainer, and a corporate barker (presenter). Later, as a production manager for a marketing firm, I mastered the art of variable data for digital press, direct marketing, and data marketing.
So why the change?
For one, when you get the opportunity to finish getting a degree that eluded you for decades, you gotta jump on it. Especially when your children—and your parents—get to see it happen. The pandemic was the worst/best thing that happened in my life, just as it was for so many other people at the time. I finally realized how important it is to pursue what you love, no matter in which of life's acts you currently play.
After successfully writing and designing the training material for a complicated sortation and tracking process, I realized I had a knack for simplifying complex matters and for a wide variety of audiences and knowledge levels. My quality control background and penchant for exceeding expectations make technical writing and editing a perfect fit. My recent foray into branding and basic website builds has rounded out my marketing skills, taking them from channel-specific to broadly capable.

AI Content Editing for Brands
It takes a lot more than simply copying and pasting out of ChatGPT to have an effective brand copy. Good brand writing requires work, or, at the very least, the enhancement of AI outputs. Let me carry your brand voice while eliminating annoying factual errors, overly playful or dramatic transitions, and the dreaded redundancies prevalent among large language models.
Algorithms do NOT equal branding.
Writing Audit
Policymakers are ironic in their interpretation of the phrase, "honesty is the best policy." Writers, on the other hand, have a responsibility to be up front and truthful, lest they gain a reputation for dishonesty or fraud. It's also important to consider media ethics. If you're a skeptical stakeholder who demands integrity at every turn, a writing audit might be just the right service to keep your confidence.
