About Me

I am experienced in writing anything from blog posts and website copy to grants and academic papers. I've worked for 10+ years in higher education, both as a faculty member and grant writer. Additionally, I've helped draft Advanced Placement curriculum and generate SEO-rich blogs on a variety of topics (education, real estate, home improvement, content marketing, etc.) as a contract worker. 

I hold a BA in English and art from Wellesley College and an MFA in art from Arizona State University. I can adapt my writing style to suit any topic, industry, or set of guidelines. Professional and punctual, I would be delighted to take on your writing project!
