nDash.com is a content creation platform that provides brands and agencies with access to the world's top freelance writers.
I have been a writer and editor since I first started working in book publishing over 20 years ago. I specialize in writing clear, compelling content that helps clients achieve their goals. My specialties are B2B and B2C writing. Areas of expertise include blog posts, ebooks, website copy, profiles, and long-form articles. I also have experience re-purposing complex technical content from webinars or conferences for use as articles or LinkedIn posts.
Topics I love to write about include technology, psychology, entrepreneurship, content marketing, travel, and human resources but I love learning about new areas as well. I constantly try to learn more to increase the value that I bring to my clients (for example, I am currently taking a class in UX writing).
I was a senior writer at Rubenstein Communications, a fast-paced NYC PR agency for almost 12 years. Before that, I was Associate Features Editor at Town & Country Magazine. My articles have appeared in national magazines including Bride’s, Cosmopolitan, Avenue, Time Out New York, American Way, and American In Britain, among other outlets. I was the founding editor of AvenueAsia: 500 Influential Asian Americans, a successful offshoot of Avenue magazine. More recently, I ghost-wrote the memoir of a U.S.-based businesswoman.
Earlier in my career, I worked in book publishing, where I edited manuscripts and wrote marketing collateral for national sales conferences. I have also worked as a ‘book doctor’ for a Brussels-based literary agency and taught essay writing online at The New School in New York City. My short stories were short-listed for the V.S. Pritchett Prize and The Mogford Prize in 2020.
