About Me

I realized I had a knack for writing in college when my professor was able to recognize my writing among hundreds of other students. 

I have 10 years experience in Marketing with the majority of my focus on writing. I don't just write to make things sound good or make people sound smart. I research the topic, understand the reader and write to solve a problem. I create content to help you solve your goals. Whether you are looking for evergreen content, educational content or a case study that demonstrates value I am here to help!

Because of the digital evolution, consumers and buyers are in the drivers seat when it comes to the buying experience. No longer are they beholden to a sales rep for information- they literally have access to information at the palm of their hands. 

Today, brands need to be a part of the conversation to stay competitive, both digitally and using traditional means. Statistics show that a buyer only spends 17% of their entire buying process talking with a seller. The majority is spent using digital channel. If you aren't part of the digital conversation, someone else is. Let me help you get there.
