ABOUT ME
With more than a decade of experience, I've spent my career focused on the best ways to draw readers in and get them to comfortably stay a while. Because no matter which audience I'm addressing—sixth-grade girls, business decision makers, or political donors—as humans, we fundamentally want the same things: to be understood, to learn something new, and to walk away with information we can use. Thanks for stopping by to check out my work. Have a look around, and feel free to get in touch if you have any questions.
