As a natural introvert, writing has been my favorite form of communication. I enjoy using my talent to inform people, improve their lives, and help them communicate better to sell a product, a service, or an idea.

Clients tell me I’m organized, capable, dependable, and detail-oriented. They’ve said they look to me for clear, concise, and correct copy done on deadline.

I use more than 20 years’ customer service experience to listen to clients to complete copy that satisfies them and solves their content problems, whether they struggle to organize their writing, get it done on time and without errors, or need creative content written in their unique voices. I love to serve businesses and organizations whose goals are to serve others.

Beyond writing and editing, I also consult with my clients to give them ideas and can “makeover” copy they already have for greater lead generation and results.

With more than a decade of experience, I create articles, newsletters, blog posts, and other fresh, innovative, error-free content for non-profit organizations and health and wellness and professional service firms that increase donations, profits, and leads. A graduate of the University of Maine at Augusta with a major in applied science and a minor in business administration, I’m a past recipient of The Maine Development Foundation’s Downtown Volunteer of the Year Award.
