Hello — it's nice to meet you! I'm here to help people improve their communications — whether that means smoothing out the rough patches on an existing piece or starting from scratch with a sort-of-filled-out creative brief.
As a writer and copy editor, I specialize in corporate and organizational communications. I’m a relentless advocate for readers and customers, so my focus will be on helping you reach them effectively. That often means simplifying language and creating a brand voice that feels natural and relatable.
What makes me qualified to help you? I’ve worked as an in-house advertising copywriter, copy editor, and employee communications specialist for organizations of all sizes, both public and private, for nearly 20 years. These include The Walt Disney Company, Nordstrom, Amazon, The Seattle Times and the Washington Metropolitan Area Transportation Authority.
In addition to ACES, I’m an active member of the Editorial Freelancers Association and the Northwest Editors Guild. I hold a bachelor’s in English from the University of California, Berkeley, and am working on a master’s in communications from Georgetown University. I also have a certificate in editing from the University of Washington and a CELTA certification for English-language instruction.
