About Me

I'm a financial professional and freelance writer with experience creating articles, whitepapers, and blog posts for business use. My typical clients are looking for well-researched financial content written with a clear style and a compelling narrative. 

Previously, I worked at a wealth management firm for four years in strategy and analysis roles. Additionally, I graduated from the University of Virginia with a Bachelor's in Economics, giving me a strong background in self-directed research.

Today, my focus is on partnering with financial firms to improve their marketing efforts with engaging and informative content. Through my writing, I focus on distilling complex scenarios into their simplest, most practical elements, helping my audience navigate the financial world.

If I can add value to your team's marketing efforts, or if you'd like to discuss a project you're exploring, please don't hesitate to reach out!
