On Background


As a writer and an editor, I make the complex compelling. 

With strategic content creation, I turn the dull and complicated into words that matter in the lives of your audience. Together, we can untangle the convoluted, let laymen feel like experts, and build a narrative from the nitty-gritty. 

The minutia becomes material. 


A creative writer by training and a strategic communicator by trade, I know style is nothing without substance. 

Your message will get attention--and be understood.


From developing communications plans for municipalities and building a community relations campaign, to crafting strategic public affairs strategies for Fortune 500 companies to foreign countries and telling the story of transformation in healthcare, my past has perfectly positioned me to put your work to words. 


After a four-year tour in the District of Columbia, I'm back at home in the heartland. A 130-year-old home, newsprint ink on my fingertips, donuts with sprinkles, wrinkled back copies of The New Yorker, texts from my parents, my little brothers’ future plans, and my husband’s dimples get my best attention. There are others, but those are most important.
