nDash.com is a content creation platform that provides brands and agencies with access to the world's top freelance writers.
I have experience writing a wide range of content from social media copy to long-form pieces, as well as copy writing and copy editing for digital and print collateral (website, recruitment brochures, capital campaign booklet, and more). I take a "whole package" approach to my work, drawing from my journalism and social science background to conceptualize projects that help organizations and brands tell their story.

I conceived of storytelling structures for a new website aimed at reporting and profiling NSSR staff and Ph.D. students and their research projects. My goal was to establish NSSR as its own branded entity that was separate -- yet part of -- the New School proper, and to provide stakeholders and prospective students with insight into the type of research being done at the university.

I held various roles while at Education Week, but my work can be summed into three key components: - streamlining digital production processes for our print editions; - writing content for and managing Education Week's social media accounts; - and contributing blog posts and articles for EW's inhouse blogs and weekly editions. My contributed articles have been primarily in the topics of school discipline and health.
