Welcome!
I am a freelance journalist, copywriter, and editor based in the San Francisco Bay area and serving clients all over the country. As a journalist, I often write about business, payments, finance, public policy, and the sports & recreation businesses, but I enjoy writing about a wide variety of topics. As a copywriter, I specialize in writing for non-profits and socially responsible businesses.
I have written magazine and newspaper articles, blog posts, press releases, newsletter articles, technical reports, and consulting reports. My work has appeared in publications such as
BAI Banking Strategies; BankNews; Ski Area Management; ISO & Agent; Crain's Cleveland Business; Quill, the magazine for members of the Society of Professional Journalists; and the Report, the magazine for members of the Student Press Law Center. I've also guest blogged at The Renegade Writer.
I have edited immigration petitions, SEC filings and annual reports, Request for Proposal (RFP) responses, academic journals, and academic papers.
Before becoming a full-time writer and editor, I earned a Master of Public Policy degree from the University of California, Berkeley and worked for more than four years as a policy analyst. Therefore, I have special expertise in policy-related communication.
