nDash.com is a content creation platform that provides brands and agencies with access to the world's top freelance writers.
I'm a veteran journalist with 14 years of experience in TV news production with several years leading digitally native content teams.
I know how to write clearly and conversationally, taking difficult topics and boiling them down so the casual reader can understand and enjoy the subject.
I've written serious content related to major political events, fun content about entertainment subjects, and instructional content related to technology. I have experience leading social media, podcast, video, and SEO efforts. I look forward to tackling any communication challenge you have!
I love travel, especially to Italy, Spain, Hawaii, and the U.S. National Parks. I have a great restaurant recommendation in nearly every city I've visited. I'm an enormous film buff, with an encyclopedic knowledge of Star Wars. I love jazz and movie soundtracks. I've performed and taught comedy since 2001. And I won two Emmys for my work in TV news (though I only own one award statuette because you have to pay for them).
There's a science to persuasion, and if you know how it works, you'll know how to avoid falling for a deal that's too good to be true.

Some online retailers offer a program where companies can give their products to “trusted reviewers” for free. The reviewers get to keep the product in exchange for sharing their opinion of it. But it’s fair to wonder if the “free stuff” has an impact on those reviewers.
