nDash.com is a content creation platform that provides brands and agencies with access to the world's top freelance writers.

I’ve also written marketing collateral — including press releases, web copy and essays. I’m flexible and versatile able to tailor work to audiences and adapt to brand voices. And because I’ve been in journalism, I’m well trained at hitting deadline. Examples of my work are at copyjockey.biz
