nDash.com is a content creation platform that provides brands and agencies with access to the world's top freelance writers.
I've covered the waterfront, from breaking company/economy news, to long-form think pieces. My writing and editing career has afforded me opportunities to work for McKinsey & Co., Bloomberg News, InvestorPlace and Investopedia. I write clear and compelling content across multiple asset classes and business trends. I relish opportunities to dive deep into the data and come back up with the a-ha's that stick in a reader's head and make the piece memorable.
Freelance editing and writing, including spot news/briefs and exchange-traded funds.
