Here’s What else you should know about me.

 

I’ve been a professional writer since 2015, after graduating with a journalism degree from Boston University.

Origin story: I got my start as a staff writer at NerdWallet, where I worked on a wide variety of projects for the content team, including collaborating on social media campaigns, contributing to gated content, creating quizzes and online tools, and conceptualizing and executing a new content series.

Ok, but seriously, after about two years at NerdWallet, I made the move to freelancing.

Since then, I’ve had the opportunity to work with a wide variety of startups and SaaS companies in the B2B and B2C spaces.

My work has been featured in publications like the L.A. Times, U.S. News and World Report, Farther Finance, Teen Vogue, Grammarly, The Startup, Mashable, Insider, Forbes, Writer (formerly Qordoba), MarketWatch, CNBC, and USA Today, among others.

FAQ

 

  • I made the leap from a full-time job to freelancing in 2018. Terrifying? Yes. Worth it? Also yes. Because now I get to work with amazing clients, writing about topics I love, like tech, organization, communication, money, and productivity.

  • Figuring out the puzzle. Every article, blog post, case study — every piece of content is a puzzle of SEO needs, storytelling, goals, and available tools. My job lets me take a ton of variables and figure out how to put them together in a way that makes sense and doesn’t make readers want to click away in 3.2 seconds.

  • I’m fully satisfied with the freelance lifestyle and don’t have an interest in staff positions. However, that doesn’t mean I’m against long-term partnerships with companies or organizations. In fact, most of my work these days is for long-term clients. This allows me to learn the ins and outs of my clients’ businesses and create content that aligns with their needs and values.

  • Picard. Or Spock. Or Janeway. Or Data. Or Seven of Nine. I could. go on…

  • I’m certainly not a complex AI that’s gained sentience. What even gave you that idea?
